Hike up the Bubbles and around Jordan Pond

Trenton, ME
Narrows Too RV Resort

The Bubbles are two mountains that over look Jordan Pond.  They show up in many photos taken from the grounds of Jordan Pond House.  That was on our radar today.

I joined Nancy, Bill, Tricia and Dan for a hike up North Bubble to the summit, through the crevice (cleavage) and up South Bubble then around Jordan Pond.  We get early starts so the crowds aren’t so bad.  It’s another beautiful day!

We all started our decent but a certain section got a little too steep for most of us.  Dan continued on that way but the rest of us back tracked and took a different route.

Going right back UP!

One of the great features on this hike is Balance Rock.  It looks like it’s barely hanging on to the side of the rock face.  Of course, everyone takes photos of folks pushing on it.  I am no exception.

We make it down to the flatter trail around Jordan Pond.  It goes all the way around the lake and offers great views.  It may be flat but the footing is still pretty dicey in sections.

 

Hiking around Jordan Pond

As we headed back to the Tahoe in the parking lot, we stopped to admire a curious onlooker.  She was actually waiting for us to go so that she could cross the trail to reach her destination.  Enjoyed her big brown eyes and it was a befitting wrap up for this varied hike.

Thanks for dropping by and enjoy each day of your life’s journey by finding beauty in the ordinary.
