On Mt. Battie's summit

It was a perfect day to be on top of Mt. Battie in Camden Hills State Park last Wednesday.

The view from the summit is quite spectacular.

That's the village of Camden down below and Penobscot Bay in the distance. Just minutes earlier we were sitting outdoors at a restaurant on that harbor.

While having lunch, we mentioned to our waitress that we'd be driving to the top of Mt. Battie after we ate. She said she has hiked mountains up and down the East Coast, and to her the best view of all is from Maiden's Cliff Trail, on the other side of this lookout.



We'll have to check that out some time,... on a cool autumn day, perhaps.
