Our last day at the park, and we got excellent weather. Blue skies and sunny, but not hot. The humidity had vanished, and we had ideal conditions to enjoy our hiking. Sargent Mountain, after Cadillac, offers the most expansive 360 degrees views, so it was nice to have such clear weather. Once again, we selected our route to uphill on the steep sections (Sargent East Cliff Trail) and hike downhill on the more moderate slopes (Sargent South Ridge and Penobscot Mountain Trail)
