Start time for work was 4pm, so I headed out on the shuttle for a hike. The trail starts at Jordan Pond then quickly climbs up the southeast face of Penobscot. People with a fear of heights or bad knees should probably take an alternate route, but I really enjoyed Spring Trail, a short but fun climb. It connects with the south ridge of Penobscot with fantastic 360 degree views. The hike was about 3 miles round trip with views and breeze all the way. Very rewarding!

| Right away, rewarding views of Jordan Pond and south coast |

| The South Ridge Trail of Penobscot is a whole lot of UP |
