The Ultimate Acadia Guide | Nothing Beats Maine in Summer!!

Last week, I visited Acadia National Park during the July 4th holiday 🎇. I was absolutely blown away by how beautiful Maine is in summer—where mountains meet the sea, the scenery is breathtaking. All photos were taken with my phone 📱, but every single one looks like a wallpaper. Trails I usually use the All Trails app 📱. You can search for guides, check in at trails, and share your experiences. Plus, pressing the "Complete" button gives an unexpected sense of accomplishment.

Everyone has their own way to boost their mood and recharge. For me, hiking outdoors works best—the energy of nature is so powerful, it heals all tiredness and revitalizes me. It’s also nice to sort out my thoughts and write a travel journal when there’s no phone signal in the car 📓. If you think about it, life really boils down to three things: Physical and mental health—so we exercise and regulate our emotions 💪🍃; Need for purpose—so we work and take on side hustles 💼💰; Relationships—so we cherish and nurture family, romantic, and friendship bonds ❤️. Travel is a wonderful way to care for our physical and mental health, connect with others, and recharge our energy for the "daily grind" ahead. #AcadiaNationalPark #USNationalParks #USTravel
