Trenton, ME
Narrows Too RV Resort
Acadia has some world class hiking trails. Since it’s on a mountain, us flat-landers were in for a challenge. What is considered moderate here would certainly be strenuous in my book! I joined Nancy, Bill, Tricia and Dan. Nancy had a couple of trails picked out but we ad libbed a bit. I don’t remember where we parked or the name of the trail, but I do remember seeing a fire tower in the distance. That was our goal (Beech Mountain). Check it out.
Fire tower at the top We made it!
As we hiked, we found that Dan (Billy Goat) made a good trailblazer with Bill next in line. Tricia and I would switch about often while Nancy the photographer would pull up the rear. It worked well for us.
The views from the first rocky top really took my breath away. Not only do words not do it justice, but pictures don’t come that close either! I’ll just let the pictures try though. (Click pic to enlarge)
Rocky steps Interesting rock
Beautiful trees everywhere!
Keep checking the map

Looks like a great hike!
Wow! What great photos! Still can't believe we did that! You are a great hiking buddy! :-)
The fire tower is on the Beech Mountain loop trail, but it also looks like you did the Beech Cliff Loop. I agree the views are great!
Oh my! If those pictures don't do it justice, I can't even imagine how beautiful it really was! Breathtaking!
Beautiful hike, but I can see the strenuous part, especially in any heat.
Wow, looks like you can see the whole country from the fire tower :) Seems like there are hikes to do everywhere. Looking forward to more pictures :)
Bet there is some stiff competition to get one of those fire tower lookout jobs. Unless you don't like climbing to work... :cD
Now how did I miss this post? Great pictures of a hike we want to take. So many hikes, so little time. :-) I know you 5 had wonderful times. Glad we could join you for some of them.
Pictures are breathtaking!!
I miss our hiking team...we really did work well together;o))
I smile as I think of that FIRST, EASY hike we planned. Sure blew the EASY part with our side trips!! But what fun and such a great adventure:o))
