South Bubble, North Bubble
Mount Desert, ME
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Looking down the Bubbles Trail on the way to South Bubble
Route: Jordan Pond Carry Trail, Jordan Pond Path, Bubbles Trail, Bubble Divide
Trails were mostly dry and in good shape. Took a detour and walked the Jordan Pond Path below South Bubble - smooth footing and nice views. Bubbles Trail up South Bubble was rugged in places with some metal rungs. A bit more tame between the peaks. Great views on both summits (didn't go out to the northern view on North Bubble...should have, but was saving energy for another hike). Bubbles Divide trail east side has been reloed and rebuilt, giving it good footing.
