Travel from Schoodic Point CG, Acadia NP to Stony Brook CG, Hanover, ME.

Stony Brook Recreation and Campground, Hanover, ME.

We did a couple of hikes while at Stony Brook CG.  The first one was on the Albany Notch trail in the White Mountain National Forest.

It is less than two miles to the summit but it took us three hours because almost the entire trail has a series of steep inclines. 

 

We stopped half way up to eat lunch.

 

 

The views at the top were spectacular. 

 

The mosquitos were relentless.  We had to stop several times to apply repellent.

The second hike we did was at Grafton Notch State Park. 

We heard that there was a good chance of spotting a moose at the park at dusk. 

Although we didn’t end up seeing any moose we enjoyed the sunset hike.

We also visited one of the many covered bridges in Maine.  The Sunday River Bridge, also known locally as the Artists Bridge, is a historic covered bridge located in Newry.  Built in 1872, it is one of Maine’s few surviving 19^th century covered bridges.
