Looking out over the Maine shoreline before starting the climb
Standing near the edge of a cliff, overlooking Acadia National Park
Climbing upward with iron rails drilled into the cliffs
Taking a moment to rest and look at the views
Climbing the rocks at Thunder Hole
These photos were taken during a climb at Acadia National Park in Maine. The combination of steep trails, ocean views, and landmarks like Thunder Hole tells a place-based story of challenge and perspective. I chose this location because it’s a place I’ve been going for many years. The hikes around Acadia challenged my endurance, and its beautiful views are always worth the journey.
