High on Beech Mountain


This morning we took a hike up to the fire tower on top of Beech Mtn. in Acadia National Park.





Although sunny, it was a bit brisk and blustery with the late autumn winds during our ascent to the top. From where I stood to admire this scene, it almost looked like a painting to me, rather than real life.


Huffing and puffing, we're almost there.





Hey, wait up Henri!




You can see such a great distance from the top, that without the benefit of a panoramic camera, this picture just doesn't do it justice.





Here's the view from level 1 of the fire tower which was the highest level that was open.




This is on the way back down.



Close to the bottom, we met a couple of doggies that were just heading up to the top.



We found out they were around our age (in dog years). Piece of cake!
