Join MYA for the perfect hiking & beer garden adventure! We’ll be taking on beautiful Black Mountain in Sullivan and the Fogtown Brewery Beer Garden in Ellsworth with a sandy beach pause for yoga and yummy food (and maybe a dip in the water!)…
Adventurers will meet up at the Big Chief Trailhead and take the sweet climb up for spectacular views. This is a moderate hike with the trails winding up, around, and over granite ledges - plan on maneuvering around roots and rocks.
There are excellent rock slabs that are perfect for a yoga practice, a snack, and perhaps a summit beer. Then we’ll continue our hike towards Black Mountain's western summit and Black Mountain Cliffs, the connector trail will lead us back to the junction above the Big Chief trailhead where the hike began. Adventurers can expect to log four miles or so. We’ll be taking our time immersing ourselves in the natural world; pausing for water breaks, deep breaths, and flora & fauna sightings.
Off the moderate hiking trail we’ll take a brief drive to connect up to an easy path thru the woods (0.5 miles), that will lead adventurers out to beautiful Schoodic beach, a sandy oasis on the shores of Schoodic Bay. MYA will bring along a vegetarian picnic to feast upon whilst enjoying the view. There may be some yoga in the sand as well!
Next up is a visit to Fogtown Brewery, Holly is happy to buy you a beer! Fogtown offers a rotation list of brews on draft, farmhouse ales, saisons, sours, herbed/spiced ales, IPAs, lagers, pilsners, stouts, craft hard seltzer & hard cider - all brewed right there in Ellsworth. MYA will relax in the beer garden until it’s time to say goodbye…
