We started out on the route and then quickly saw the sign for Sand Beach.
Once at Sand Beach we looked for the Great Head Trail. To get to the trail we walked across the beach where we found sunbathers and crazy children in the water! This water rarely gets above 55 degrees. So, you have to be brave or crazy to go in the water. I'm not either one!
Once we found the entrance to Great Head Trail, we started our adventure.
I'm not a hiker by any means. I didn't realize this trail was "moderate." In my mind moderate wouldn't have included the things we had to do to get to the top, but once I got going it was actually fun! I just followed Dynamo's footsteps and he helped me over a few obstacles. We took our time and enjoyed the challenge!
Here are some pictures from our hike and at the top...
I'm at the bottom saying "do we really have to climb up there?"
Some parts of the hike were smooth...
Most of the other parts were not!
We walked across a cool walkway too...
And, the elevation marker at the top...
But, the views were spectacular! It was worth the effort!
Taking our own photo was tricky (don't ask!!)
Did I mention that going up was the easy part?
Once back at the car we finished our evening riding some of the Park Loop Road. More beautiful scenery...
What a fantastic day filled with adventures! I had so much fun, even though I stepped out of my comfort zone and took a hike (literally)! It was so comfortable and cool and we saw things we wouldn't see in the car. I had such a wonderful evening with my hun!
More on lobster and Cadillac Mountain in the next post! To be continued...
