June 16th, our last day in Acadia was one for the books. The Friends of Acadia group went above and beyond and organized a special Soils to Summit event for us at 8 a.m., and it was such a thoughtful way to wrap up our trip. We hiked as a group, and even though the trail had us breaking a sweat, the view at the top made every step completely worth it. Like, stop-and-stare-in-silence kind of beautiful.
What made it even more special was that we weren’t just hiking, we were giving back. It felt really meaningful to spend our last day helping out the community and environment that gave us so many amazing memories throughout the week. There’s just something about digging in the dirt and looking out over the mountains that makes you feel connected to the place, the people, and the moment.
Afterward, we had time to explore Bar Harbor one last time. It hit a little different knowing it was our final walk-through town. A few last-minute souvenir grabs may have happened.
Then we wrapped it all up with a goodbye dinner. It was bittersweet, lots of laughs, full hearts, and that quiet feeling of not wanting the night to end. Saying goodbye was hard, but the memories? So, so worth it.
