The Grandgent Trail goes up and up and up to the summit of Sargent Mountain, Acadia's second tallest peak.

The Sargent Mountain summit marker. Despite being the second tallest peak, Sargent's large domed shape makes the views seem a bit muted compared to the smaller peaks.

Coming down the Sargent Northwest Trail; Somes Sound is in the distance.

Back in the forest near the carriage road.

The Sargent Northwest Trail heads back down to Sargent Brook where we meet back up with the Giant Slide Trail.
