Not Hiking Cadillac


This past Friday I took a spontaneous trip to Acadia National Park with a few of my friends. With minimal camping experience and a severe distaste for the cold I was eager to say no but was persuaded by the promise of a hike up Cadillac Mountain. We arrived to the dark and cold campground around 8 in the evening and set up after 30 minutes worth of circling the campground in hopes of finding our campsite. I love hiking and now is the perfect time of the year to take advantage of our beautiful state. Hiking is great for a lot of reasons.
1. You don't have to be an athlete to hike. There are all sorts of trails of varying distances and difficulties. There is literally a trail for everyone.
2. It's great for the booty. The workout that hiking gives you is great for your lower body, it works your claves, thighs and most importantly, your butt.
3. Your heart and lungs will thank you. Hiking, or pretty much any cardiovascular routine is great for your heart and lungs.
Back to my story. Around 8 the next morning we took off from our campsite in search for coffee and Cadillac. When we arrived at Cadillac that perfectly sunny Saturday morning, we could not have been more disappointed. Standing outside of the blocked entrance stood a park ranger who informed us that Cadillac would be closed to vehicles until noon. Even though our trip did not go as planned, we still had a great time and at least had the intention of getting some good physical activity this past weekend.
Below are pictures of me not hiking Cadillac this past weekend.
