From the little boat ride across to Mount Kineo until the ride back, this was a fun experience. We took the bridal trail since we are moving on in years but we made it after a few rests. Once we got to the top of the tower, though, this was the million dollar experience. Of course it helped that it was a picture perfect day. Food at the pro shop at the bottom was an added plus.

My husband and I (57 & 56) did this hike on the Friday of Columbus Day weekend. We left the trailhead at 10 a.m and got back to the lot at 4:30. We started from the lower parking area, took the rim trail, and returned by Pleasant Brook. We did every spur and overlook trail and took a 15-minute lunch break. That is to say, it's a rigorous and long hike if you do the whole thing but it's very well worth the time and effort. Note that you want to take a pair of water shoes to cross the stream at the beginning. We did not, thinking we'd rock hop. Not an option. We had water over our boots but we both had on wool socks so wants the squishing sound stopped, we were fine. But I would have preferred dry feet going in and out. There's a lot of elevation transitions throughout the hike and some rock scrambling and pulling yourself up by trees and roots. Not for the timid or terribly, terribly out of shape. There are several opportunities to shorten the hike with cut-offs but we persevered and were rewarded with many, many amazing views. It was $16/person. The woman at the gate was extremely kind and helpful. If you're looking for a waterfall-rich, full-day hike, this is it. Happy trails!
