Acadia: Day Four

Our family planned a long hike on the Amphitheater Trail, leading up to a little-known summit called Cedar Swamp Mountain. This trail route was brand new to our family, and we wanted to beat the rain- which we did! The trail was mostly in the woods and along brooks (so we fought the bugs), but it also took us on the carriage roads, and to two carriage road bridges, including the Amphitheater Bridge, the largest bridge constructed.






The first bridge we crossed...


The ever impressive Amphitheater Bridge.





At the summit of Cedar Swamp Mountain...we enjoyed the views for about five minutes before the fog rolled in.  But even the fog is an amazing sight!



We are so thankful to Raffi for his song "Willoughby Wallaby Woo."  Nearly endless entertainment on the trails!




 Another look at the bridge on our decent...


What would Rockefeller say if he saw us changing our baby's diaper on one of his bridges?




Almost five hours later and we're still having fun!

Haven't had time to write a comment yet (and I am supposed to be retired ... right) ... no more excuses!
That song and many others like it, kept Josh and Justin and the girls busy on many a trip.
Sounds and looks like you are having a blast of a time ... can't wait to see what you did today on the many trails of Acadia NP .... walking and climbing and making so many great memories!!
