Acadia National Park (North Ridge to Cadillac Mountain)

My friends and I hiked the North Ridge Trail up Cadillac Mountain today.  It was a beautiful sunny 35 degree day, and there was hardly any snow on the trail, although there was large amount of ice so ice cleats came in handy.   

Given the ice, we elected to take the Cadillac Mountain Road back down the mountain, as the road was closed to vehicle traffic.
