Route: Acadia West Side Traverse (ME)

Figured it was time for the west side of the island to receive some FKT love!

This is a route that runs coast to coast (Seal Cove to Somes Sound) across the west side of Mount Desert Island, covering all the mountain peaks along the track in just over 13 miles. 

Here you are summiting Bernard, Mansell, Beech, Acadia, St. Sauveur, and Flying mountains along the way. Rugged terrain, beautiful views, and less crowds than the east side (and, IMO, the best mountains and views in the park...). 

This route is also part of the full Arcadia National Park Peak Traverse and covers the Western Mountain Traverse.
