"Wonderful weather in the low 70s, sunny, but windy on the summits. Great hike, wish we had included Penobscot but next time. We went up Hadlock and then down Bald. Little to no people until we started to head back down then it started to feel a little crowded." — RexlerLepp • Sep 11, 2021
"The summits of both Penobscot and Sargent are magical for different reasons. Penobscot has beautiful views of the Atlantic and pools of water that grows well-known water lilies. Sargent has pink granite and various cairns built to mark the trail. Sargent also has a pond along the trail if you want to cool off. " — CAnn • Aug 6, 2021
"Last weekend of summer - triple bag Saturday (Gilmore, Sargent, Cedar Swamp). Plenty of sun - overall route ~7.5 miles.
Started north of Upper Hadlock Pond, ascended along stream on Maple Spring trail, took South Slope trail to Cedar Swamp, returned via mostly carriage road" — Gregrog • Sep 19, 2020
"Noah, Baxter, Marla, and I looked over six Acadia peaks, seeing different (yet pleasant) weather on each one. Bald Peak -> Parkman -> Gilmore -> Sargent -> Penobscot -> Cedar Swamp" — rwthacke • May 30, 2020
" The 4th of 6 summits. Huge beautiful open summit. Unobstructed views in every direction. Hike up wasn't very hard after climbing down Gilmore, pretty gradual climb. This mountain is well worth the hike. Climbed down the challenging Sargent East Cliffs trail, which kicked my butt. " — mikewilliamsjr • Jun 2, 2017
"Known as the Peak Bagger's Delight, we summited these three plus Bald Peak on a beautiful June day. Although none of the
summits are above 1500 ft., the views from the tops were outstanding." — billsussdorff • Jun 12, 2015
"What a great day for a hike. Six peak day. We started the morning form Rt 198 and hiked Bald Peak, Parkman Mt, Gilmore Peak, Sargent Mt, Penobscot Mt, and Cedar Swamp Mt. 9.4 miles on my GPS It was a great day." — bwright • Apr 21, 2013
"Holly Scribner and I did this hike on July 12, 2011 since the day began as rather rainy. Our plan had been The Beehive Trail in Acadia National Park, but attempting steep cliffs & iron rungs is not advisable under wet conditions. Sargent was a GREAT alternative!" — emeraldverbena • Jul 12, 2011
