The First Half of My First Day in Maine: Filled With Endless Adventures

Emma and I at Jesup Trail

Our first full day in Maine was jam-packed with many different activities. We had an early start to our day, leaving our cabins at 8 a.m. and driving to Park Loop Road, a 27-mile drive with spots to stop at. First, we stopped at the Sieur De Monts Spring in the Wild Gardens of Acadia section, which featured different kinds of plants and greenery that could be found around the park. I was able to explore beautiful flowers, plants and even a frog! Before we left Sieur De Monts Spring, we headed down Jesup Path, one of the many trails we could have picked to explore. This path opened up to the most beautiful pond, which I was not expecting at all, but it was absolutely breathtaking. We all took the opportunity to grab some content there before heading back to meet everyone in the van. Next, we drove to Sand Beach, which had a beach and different hikes we could explore. Libby, Kate, Favour, Emma and I decided to brave the Beehive Trail which was extremely strenuous but beautiful. The trail was entirely rocks and had some really steep points. We made it to the first look-out where we could take pictures, so we took advantage of that. We started to continue from there, but Emma, Favour, and I decided to climb back down as Libby and Kate continued on and finished the hike. Then, Emma, Favour and I walked down by the beach before we had to head back to the van. Following this, we drove to Bar Harbor and were given the opportunity to explore the area and the shops before we grabbed dinner.
