For a couple of hours that day, it didn’t rain after that beautiful sunrise captured earlier. I went for a short hike to South Bubble mountain, one of the two small mountains that are visible from Jordan Pond.

The hike to Bubble Rock on top of South Bubble was short and not too strenuous, even when the ground was not completely dry.
Trees and a boulder seen on the way up to South Bubble mountain.
At the top was a big boulder perched on the mountain rocks, looking like it was ready to tumble down to the road or the gorgeous valley below. Bubble Rock was moved there a long time ago by a glacier that carved out what is now Acadia National Park.

Its all very beautiful. I am worried that some idiot will push bubble rock off the hill. I think this has happened elsewhere.

Emma, many visitors have tried to push the rock, sometimes several of them ganging up together. So far they have not been able to move it an inch. I think short of a major earthquake, the rock will not budge.

That’s good to know (the not budging bit). I am quite depressed that groups of people have tried to push it down hill, though.

They don’t have a chance. That boulder weighs 19 tons!

Thank you Dries! That day it was only dry for two hours, and the rest of the day was rainy and drab.

These are stunning! You may not have had the best weather during your trip, but from the amount of color showing from the trees, it looks like your timing was perfect.

Timing is everything for leaf-peeping, and even though I had planned this trip several months ago, I think I arrived in Acadia at peak time.
