 | Comments: |
Nearly the entire 13 mile hike was bone dry with extremely minimal mud. Trails were in great shape and easy to follow. The views were great as always, but not far-reaching due to haze from wildfire smoke, and the iron rung sections of Precipice and the Beehive were fun and exciting as always. A beast of a hike and a great day overall in Acadia National Park, which wasn't quite as crowded as I expected. |
