“In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.”
-- John Muir
With children ranging from 5 months to nearly 7 years we now look for fairly easy hikes when all the family and friends have gathered. Schoodic Point is the only part of Acadia National Park that isn’t on Mt Desert and is a favorite place of ours to visit. There is plenty of opportunities for rock hopping, tide pool searching, stone balancing, seal watching, and picnicking before and after our hike up Schoodic Point Trail. I spend most of my time taking photos but this time I only brought the G9 and the iPhone because I just didn’t want to carry anything heavy. Although the G9 lens is scratched I can live with the photos for the most part.
When we arrived we discovered that someone had painstakingly decorated the parking lot with beach stones and tiny pinecones…
We had plenty of time for tidepooling…
and rock hopping…
…and picnicking.
And then we hiked the Schoodic Head Trail to the top of Schoodic Head with it’s views of Mt Desert and Cadillac Mt. It was a little hot and challenging for the kids, and the adults who carried them, but fun.
