Hiking in Maine

While in Maine, we hiked through Bradbury Mountain State Park.  The trails were incredibly well marked and mildly to moderately difficult depending on which legs and loops you choose to take.  It was such a gorgeous, clear day – perfect for being outside which you can hopefully see from the pictures below.  I had so much fun hiking in the woods that I entirely skipped the outlet shopping haven of Freeport just 6 miles away.  (Like I said, it was a gorgeous day!)
