Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor in Pictures
Crossing the Mount Desert Narrows on way to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park
It’s 6:12am and pretty quiet here in Bar Harbor. I’m sitting outside the Tamarind Café, one of two places I’ve found in town to get free wifi.
If you don’t have your own computer, you can go to the Opera House which is an internet café but quite expensive. Regardless, at this time of the morning, nothing is open.
I’m getting ready to head back to Canada. To New Brunswick, to be specific. But I thought I’d stop and upload some pictures for you first.
These pics are of Acadia National Park and the town of Bar Harbor which are located on Mount Desert Island. This island offers a very different landscape than Cape Cod. More rugged than the Cape, it is covered with pine and birch trees, has wildlife and a rocky shore. It’s great for hiking and viewing the sunrise.
Cadillac Mountain offers hikers, cyclists and those who drive the first view of the sun from American soil.
Sunrise from Cadillac Mountain.
I wasn’t the only one to rise at 4am to see the sunrise.
Whether it was the time of day, I’m not sure, but I saw three deer on my way back from seeing the sunrise.
While I waited for Two Cats café to open for breakfast at 7am, I pirated their wifi and go caught up with the blog.
There are plenty of wild flowers in the park.
Thunder Hole: When a large wave washes into this hole a large bang is heard. No picture can do it justice.
There are lots of rocks for kids to climb but Sand Beach is the only developed beach like shoreline.
Point is known for its tide pools. Try to visit at low tide. This was about an hour early.
