1/22/10 Last of Loop Road and Witch Hole Pond loop

A glorious day-brilliant sunshine,fresh snow, about 30, and no wind. Kelley was really happy to be back at Acadia. She does seem to prefer it to all the places we hike. We started at the visitor center (closed) to do the last section of park loop road we hadn't walked. Kelley alternated between the nicely packed snow from the snowmobiles and the loose powder beside the road- one happy dog. Once we reached the spot we had come to last week we returned to the visitor center and looked around for trails to the carriage roads in anticipation of a planned hike involving the Breakneck Rd. We found an access to the Witch Hole Pond Loop section of the carriage roads and decide to do that. What a beautiful hike and there were lots of skiers for Kelley to greet along the way-we have never met as many people on any previous hike. We finished the loop and returned to the parking lot. 3 1/2 hours
