Acadia National Park Guide πππ β Be sure to share and save for your next trip! Visiting Acadia is a trip everyone should do! Be sure to save this for your future trip! There are so many hikes and other things to do when you visit! Here is a list of my top 10 things to add to your itinerary when you visit! Would you change anything on this list?? 1. Sunset at Cadillac Mountain 2. Sunrise at Cadillac Mountain 3. Bike the carriage road (you can rent e-bikes in Bar Harbor) 4. Catch a sunset at Bass Harbor Head Light House 5. Precipice Trail (not for those scared of heights!) 6. Beehive Trail (for those that donβt want to do precipice but still want an adventurous hike) 7. Explore Jordan Pond 8. Stroll the Ocean Path trail 9. North and South Bubble Mountain for an overlook of Jordan Pond 10. Dorr Mountain Ladder Trail As always, please follow the leave no trace principles while visiting the parks. Take out any trash you bring with you including compostable material like apple cores and bread scraps and sadly now masks. If you encounter animals like squirrels, chipmunks, or marmots, please do not feed them as it encourages them to go closer to humans and steal their food (this has become a major problem in the parks). Together we can make our parks wonderful for everyone to enjoy! Tag someone you would bring here! Drop a like, save and share this post, and leave a comment with your thoughts!

πππACADIA NATIONAL PARK GUIDE πππ Acadia National Park is an incredible must see park! There are infinite number of things to do. My two favorite hikes were Precipice Trail and Beehive trail which I would highly recommend! Another must do is renting a bike or E-bike and ride the Carriage Roads. This was one of the most memorable and fun days during our trip! The nice part about Acadia is you can do multiple hikes in one day. They are pretty short so you can knock out a few per day and experience a lot in a short amount of time! Catching sunset at the Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse and Cadillac Mountain are also must does! A reservation is now required for car entry up Cadillac Mountain. I would recommend getting one for sunrise and sunset because both are incredible! To see more, check out the four part Acadia highlight series on our page! As always, please follow the leave no trace principles while visiting the parks. Take out any trash you bring with you including compostable material like apple cores and bread scraps and sadly now masks. If you encounter animals like squirrels, chipmunks, or marmots, please do not feed them as it encourages them to go closer to humans and steal their food (this has become a major problem in the parks).
