Bradbury Mountain State Park

I went for a hike with my brother and his dog today at Bradbury Mountain State Park. Though I'd say the peak colors are gone, there is still some color out there.



After seeing the quarry and hiking a little bit, we reached the summit. I had hiked here before and remembered it being a quick hike.



Around the summit.



This tree was pretty cool, it seemed to branch out and form more trees.



More pictures from hiking around on random trails.



And then as we headed back to the parking lot, everything was very orange..



One of a few areas with picnic tables.



As we left I took one last picture of the sun going down behind the trees.

The week in photo's - Saturday

Saturday, August 26th, I went to Bradbury Mountain State Park in Pownal, ME. I had been told about this "mountain" a few times when mentioning that I'd like to shoot new places. I don't quite understand the big deal though. Coming from the White Mountains of New Hampshire originally, walking less than a mile to get to the summit was rather strange and unfullfilling. I don't think I even built up a sweat..no..actually I didn't. It was a great place to take a family, due to it's .3 mile incline to the summit. Very short hike, and a decent view. Nothing to drive from Portland to see though. I'm glad I went anyway, or else it'd be this place on my list that I'd always need to see. The trails were mighty confusing and I think I must've hopped trails a few times. Well I could go on about my disappointment, but really it wasn't too bad. Here are some pictures.
