The Hike Plan: We will do three short hikes on the quieter (west) side of Acadia National Park. First we do a ~5.5mi loop through Acadia & St Sauveur Mtns, then the Ship Harbor loop to the ocean, ~1.5mi, and then an out-and-back on the Wonderland Trail nearby.

Gathering Place: For this one we will drive to the trailheads since I am not sure how reliable or often the bus shuttle will be coming by for us to do these far away and multiple hikes. Non-campers can come and meet us at the campsite and then carpool with us ~9:30AM or meet us at the first trailhead of of 102 & St Sauveur Trail Head parking lot by ~10AM.
Optional After Hike Event : How about we try one of the restaurants on this side of the park for dinner? Once I know who is in, I'll call one of the restaurants and see if they can take the whole group in.
