National Trails Day in Acadia National Park. It was our first hike of the summer and it was a alot of fun! We hiked the Great Head Trail with some great fellow hikers and a Park Ranger who filled us in on lots of history as we hiked. We were also lucky enough to have the Park Superintendent, Sheridan Steele join us. Ben was quick to make friends and took a ton of pictures along the way. Olivia got to ride in the backpack for most of the trip and was happy to pull Dad's hair and enjoy the view.
Cool fact from the trip: Sand Beach and the surrounding 100 acres were a gift from J.P. Morgan to his daughter who eventually donated it all to the park. At one point along the Great Head Trail, you can see the remains of a stone tea house that they had for entertaining guests.
