Acadia National Park…

2011-08-31 Acadia Natl Park 048

All I can say is WOW!!! If you have never been to Acadia National Park you must put it on your list now… We decided to make the 1.5 hour drive north up to Bar Harbor to visit the town we heard so much about but mostly we went to visit Acadia National Park.

The mix of mountains, forested islands and the ocean combine in a way to provide you a path to a sensory wonderland. The green, blue and red hues of the forest, ocean and rock all serve to intoxicate your senses. There is so much to do here with a wide diversity of ways to enjoy it all… so I will only provide pictures and little verbiage as words can’t say it all…

The park is an absolute must see spot… We would love to spend more time here but it a bit too far away from Camden. Plus with the Camden Hills in our backyard we are more than content to explore their beauty which rivals that of Acadia National Park. As for Bar Harbor, we felt as if it is a bit over rated and are much happier that we landed in Camden instead of there. It could be that we like Camden so much that we see no reason to like anywhere else better.

  5. Gorgeous! We were amazed by the Maine coast in general. Being from the Mid-Atlantic states, I couldn't believe the rugged and undeveloped coastline.
