After ten hours of scenic driving up coastal Route 1, we arrive at our cabin.

Despite the fact that they had told us all the single bedroom cabins were booked (and therefore we rented a more expensive two-bedroom), we were the only ones here for the entire time.

Still, having this place to ourselves was nothing to complain about.

Halfway up Cadillac mountain on Mount Desert Island. Looks like a couple big cruise ships are in town.

Honestly, how does a ship that size not run aground in such tight quarters. It looks like it shouldn't be able to fit there, no? The town of Bar Harbor can be seen along the water, and a golf course.

Just a few hundred feet from the tourist trap at the summit, we find rocky terrain and vast vistas open to hiking.
