This was our last stop before meeting up with the caravan group. We did some shopping and eating in Bar Harbor then visited the Hull’s Cove Visitors Center. We drove up to Cadillac Mountain for an amazing vista then drove most of the self guided Loop Drive. I expected Acadia to be more ‘wild/wilderness’. Maybe if we had been there longer and done some hiking it would seem different. But Bar Harbor is now sort of a built-up tourist trap and while the coast is beautiful, the loop drive was packed with slow moving traffic and no place to park. I got the ‘been there’ stamp and I’m done.
Beautiful smooth giant boulders rolling in the Atlantic coastal surf. We had seen something like this on a much smaller scale on beaches around Lake Superior (pebbles ‘singing’ as they rolled up and down the waters edge) but nothing like this scale!
Portland Head Light, Fort Williams Park. It is the oldest lighthouse in Maine. Commissioned by our 1st President, George Washington in 1791. Be sure to try the “Bite Into Maine” food truck lobster rolls located nearby. We saw them featured on “Somebody Feed Phil” and they were worth the $$. This photo is from Roni C’s snap happy camera. Jenni and Roni had been to this lighthouse many times – we’re glad they took a day to share it with us.
Waiting for delicious Curried Lobster Roll !
Bar Harbor. We wandered around downtown shops and had lunch at a little deli type place on the Town Pier (where Whale Watch boats sail from).
