| This hike is only 1.1 mile in length and labeled moderate due to a few steep grades. But it also had a lot of level stretches through a beautifully forested trail with trees. | |

| Bubble Rock (Balance Rock) is a precariously balanced giant boulder that can be seen from below when driving the Loop Road. One of Acadia's larger erratics, once entombed in glaciers that were deposited across area as the ice melted. It weighs about 14 tons. | |

| The two RV Gypsies started back down the trail, but they were told by other hikers to check out the area a very short distance from Bubble Rock because they thought it the best scenery here. | |

top of the Bubble Rock trail |

|
|
| The climb down from this area is pretty steep and very rocky as there is some loose gravel in spots that can be very slippery, and has some large rocks and tight spaces to squeeze through.It is called the blue trail.- (the two RV Gypsies did NOT go this way - they went back the way they came which was NOT as difficult. | |
