Simon enjoyed a lovely hike up Norumbega Mt. this past week. Located in Acadia National Park, Norumbega rises on the eastern side of Sommes Sound. We ascended via the Goat Trail, aptly named due to its rather steep ascent. The trail rises quickly before reaching the summit in a more gradual manner. Views from this summit are lovely and include the fjord of Sommes Sound as well as mountains to the east. The trail passes over the summit to descend through open conifers to the shore of Lower Hadlock Pond- which is a water resevoir so unfortunately no swimming for Simon. However all was not lost, for Simon found a nice stream in which to frolic!
