Day Two in Acadia National Park

This was someone's personal lawn on the edge of the National Park...what a beauty!!

Well, the sunshine confirmed it!! Acadia National Park is our favorite National Park as of yet!! That really says something, as we have now seen Yosemite, Yellowstone, Glacier, and several others and Acadia is right up there at the top! Now remember, you have to see it in the fall...I'm not sure it would be as spectacular any other time of year, but right now it is glorious!! I know you have already seen several pics from us here, but there are just a few more that MUST be posted :-). Yesterday, our only day so far with sunshine, we hiked up to "Bubble Rock" and had our lunch at the top of this hill...wow!! is all I can say...you could see for miles and the colors were breathtaking!! The hike was a bit steep, but it was short (0.7 mile) and it was so worth the effort and a must do if you find yourself in Acadia NP. We also found this little jet-off on a "less-traveled" road and found a magnificent place along the ridges of the ocean. Only one other person was there (who was kind enough to take our family photo) and we stayed here for a long while taking in all the beauty of Maine. Sadly we leave Maine today and head back into a different part of New Hampshire and I think we all will miss it :-(. We have loved Maine...Bar Harbor, Acadia NP, the amazing seafood and our campground (Hadley's RV Park, just outside of Bar Harbor) and especially the fall raiment!!

Another example of the glorious foliage of Maine in Acadia NP.

 

 

Here is the spot, hidden off of an untraveled road, where we sat on the ridges of the coast of Maine and took in the majesty of the ocean!!

 

Maybe our best family picture yet?? What do you think??

On the top of Cadillac Mountain...the city down by the water is Bar Harbor and yes, that is a cruise ship in the bay. Lots of tourists are in the area this time of year...the fall colors draw people in from all over the world.
