Day Mountain
Mount Desert, ME
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Ascending the Day Mountain carriage road
Route: Day Mountain Trail, carriage road
Acadia picked up a good 3" of snow Thursday night and Friday day, resulting in early winter conditions. Day Mountain was bootable, especially when bypassing any tricky parts of the southern side via the carriage road. Nice directional views at and near the summit.
