#76  Chad hiked up the Beehive trail in Acadia National Park. The trail was 1.2 miles up and consisted of very steep ladders and rocks and ended at a lake. This part of the hike took him 40 minutes. Once he got to the lake, he decided to take the Bowl Trail back down which was .3 miles longer than the beehive. The Bowl was much flatter and he was able to hike down it twice as fast. Halfway down the Bowl Trail, Chad's foot stuck in between 2 rocks and he spent 6 minutes trying to get it out.  How long did Chad's hike take in total?

Fascinating fact:  Acadia National Park encompasses most of Mount Desert Island, and several smaller islands, with a total of 47,452 acres of land. East of the Mississippi River, Acadia NP was the first National Park to have been established. Originally the park was named Sieur de Monts National Monument in 1916.
