Wednesday, Day 3
Today we hiked some more! And then made a visit to Jordan Pond. It's been a tradition since the 1800s to enjoy tea and popovers while looking out at the North and South Bubble Mountains. But first, we hiked. There's a 3ish mile loop around the pond with the option of going up the side of the South Bubble Mountain. Naturally, we went up. It's the second tallest mountain in the park with its summit at 768 feet. Wasn't so sure I was going to make it, but the adrenaline kicked in and next thing you know we were on top looking out at the rest of the park. Words can't describe the feeling you get seeing that kind of view knowing it was only made possible because of the work you put into getting there.
The descent back down was much easier (took a different trail down the back of the mountain) and eventually made it back to the pond...where we still had another 1.5 miles to get back to where we started. We ate lunch at the restaurant there and had the most delicious popovers. Definitely worth the hike.
