On our last day in Acadia, we started it with a bang. Today, we hiked almost 4 and a half miles, carrying 15 pounds of soil, and reaching a 1,000 ft elevation gain. This hike was so hard-- it was steep, long, and of course, we were carrying 15 pounds, which made it even more difficult. Even though this sounds like a hike from your nightmares, I had an amazing time. If there's one thing I love to do on an outdoorsy trip, it's to do an exciting hike. Maybe that's seeing a massive waterfall, breezing through the woods, or even carrying 135 pounds to the top of a summit. I love any and all types of hikes! What made this hike so fun for me was the rough terrain, making it a trail where you really had to focus on exactly where you're stepping. It's hard, but getting into a rhythm makes it easier for me. The top of the hike was absolutely beautiful. That's a sight I won't forget. Doing this hike all for a good cause made it even better, too. Volunteer work is so rewarding, especially if you've enjoyed yourself during it. From this whole trip, I'd say this had to be my favorite thing I've done yet. This challenging hike really pushed all of us, but I had such a great time on the mountain!
