St. Saveur Mtn

Following up on a similar hike from last year, we headed our to Sommes Sound and Southwest Harbor. We started with lunch at "Jay Dub's", enjoying some pretty good hamburgers. 

Then, we drove back up the road to the parking lot for Acadia Mtn, St. Saveur Mtn, and Echo Lake. Instead of Acadia, this year we hiked St. Saveur. The trail is quite overgrown in places, but it's pretty easy and has lots of fun boulders to climb over. There is literally no view from the top, so take the Valley Peak Trail from the summit. It's a loop, so you can go either direction. This gives you some views of Sommes Sound, but I recall better views from Acadia Mtn last year. 

We finished with a dip in Echo Lake again, which was the real reason for coming over here. The cool-but-not-cold crystal-clear waters are amazing!  Next year, we should get the Park pass before visiting and park over at the official Echo Lake Beach (or take the bus), and also try hiking Beech Mtn.
