“The group in front of us was standing there looking out into the water with binoculars and they were like – ‘is that a whale?’ We stopped and turned and saw this enormous pool of water and it looked like a giant rock, but the people that were looking at it were like – ‘yo, that’s a whale.’ “ – Brandon Agostinelli

Welcome to the To Summit Up Podcast!

This week’s episode is the second week in a row with a To Summit Up repeat guest. On the podcast this week is my great friend, Brandon Agostinelli. A year ago, Brandon and I went to Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies and the outdoor flame was lit within him. Over the past year Brandon has grown and made the outdoors a staple in his life. He recently just took a trip to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor in Maine. I (Ryan) too have been to Maine and it is an incredible place with a wide variety of activities available for everyone. This is a really great episode where we talk about why you should go to Maine and what you should do there.

In this episode Brandon and I talk about:

  1. The varieties of activities available in Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, Maine.
  2. Seeing whales in the Atlantic and what that experience was like.
  3. Accessible hiking for everyone in Acadia.
  4. Exploring new places.
  5. The importance of getting outside
