Cadillac Mountain for sunset. Very nice! Back at camp we fixed some tacos, enjoyed the campfire and headed to bed. We woke up early this morning ready to see more of the park. Issac is sending rain our way so we have to get as much done as we can.
Until today the most difficult hike we had done was in Zion in Utah. Today we headed up Precipice Trail which we later found out is the most difficult hike in the park. It was a challenge--but it felt great to do it!
We drove around more of the Park and it started raining so we nixed any other hikes and just enjoyed the rain and the drive. We came back to Bar Harbor very hungry! I had a lobster roll--yummy and Don had the most delicious Reuben sandwich ever. Then we enjoyed a scoop of delicious Bar Harbor ice cream.
Since it is raining, we are in a little hotel tonight. It is supposed to rain all day tomorrow, too. Although our time in Acadia was cut short, we did have a great time. Maybe we'll come back some day!

 |
| This boardwalk went on and on around Jordan Pond...Don estimates 7-10 football field lengths! |
 |
| Our campsite at Acadia |
 |
| I saw this web way up in the trees and the sun was hitting it just right! |
 |
| This is at the first of the Precipice Trail. |
 |
| Can you see me up among the boulders? The climb took alot of climbing, stretching and careful steps. |
 |
| We not only went over boulders...but under them! |
 |
| And to think I stopped to take pictures! |
 |
| This part was pretty intense...we did have a small rail along the edge for a kind of foot-stopper. |
 |
| So here we are nearly at the top... |
 |
| We understand a lady did die on this trail just a few weeks ago. |
 |
| At the top of the mountain was a little pond...what a beautiful frog!!! |
 |
| A BEAUTIFUL view from the top! |

 |
| This the beautiful and rugged Maine coast! |
