Acadia National Park

James priority was biking along the carriage roads in Acadia National Park.  Check.  It was an amazing experience.


While in Bar Harbor and Acadia we also enjoyed the sand bar out to Bar Island... Due to the changes in the tide, it really is an island most of the day.

While we were there we attended a Sky Night Festival.  It was a clear, moonless night, and so refreshing to see so many stars again.  Quite different from our typical DC night sky.  The Milky Way was clearly visible, and they had several telescopes set up for additional views.  The next day we went back to Cadillac Mountain during the day.  We enjoyed some great views, including Egg Rock Lighthouse.

Sand Beach.  Some impressive waves. 

Thunder Hole.  The waves were too calm for the full effect, but still impressive to see and hear the waves crashing against the rocks.

We learned from a Park Ranger more about the bridges in the park, courtesy of Mr. Rockerfeller.  Here's Great Duck Bridge and the Waterfall bridge.

Overall we loved our trip.  There were some amazing views.  And since there are even more lighthouses to see, we will probably be headed back sometime as well.
