"My oldest son wanted to get outside, so far be it from me to not take advantage of that rarity. It's quick and easy. We popped up to the old chimneys and the new-ish monument dedicated to the trail maintainers. This supposedly now marks the highest point in the park (and the city). A short but enjoyable time outside. Off to Acadia tomorrow!" — mikewilliamsjr • May 6, 2024

"A hike for a Calendar Day. Only person on the mountain. Used microspikes for most of the hike. Went up the steep tower at the top. Clear day but also windy making it chilly. Went to Norway Brewing Company afterwards for a View and Brew gain. " — newenglandwarrior • Apr 25, 2024

"Molly and I headed up from Kittery the day before for the eclipse. We slept in the car in the parking lot for Bald Mtn. We headed up around 10am and arrived at the summit around 11:00. The observation platform already had about 10 people there and a bunch of other people on the ground. The platform was also smaller than I recall it being. We claimed a spot and stayed there for 5 hours. Totality as around 3:30 for the eclipse. Everything turned dark, much like before sunrise. It was an amazing experience. There were about 100 people on Bald Mtn by then. We headed down the mountain soon after totality was over, being stuck in a conga line of 20-30 people deep. The snow was soft mashed potatoes and our microspikes helped. We then had the long drive home. From Oquossic to the Height of Land, it took us 1 hour, 5 minutes to drive 11 miles. Beautiful sunny day. Some wind on the tower made things brisk but we were well bundled up. " — newenglandwarrior • Apr 8, 2024

"Hiked up Borestone to see the eclipse. Only made it to the western peak, but the view of totality and the surrounding mountains was amazing. The snow and crowds lead to an interesting and slow descent, but also a very fun snowball fight" — noahthackeray • Apr 8, 2024
