Acadia National Park
Away we go along the coast of Maine. After loading up on farm fresh eggs and biding the friends of the farm, including all the goats, chickens, and Kiggy,farewell we headed to Acadia National Park. It is located on Mount Desert Island in the Atlantic. Gorgeous rocky coastline, endless islands, bald mountain peaks, it is something else! We arrived at our campsite just in time to sit on the rocks and watch the colors cover the eastern skyline.
In the morning we explored the main drag through the park along the coast and past the scenic points. Sandy beach and thunder hole were pretty exciting, especially in the sun. We ate lunch on Otter Point watching people boulder along the rocks. Drove up to the top of Cadillac mountain for outstanding views of the surrounding peaks, ocean, and islands. Stopped in Bar Harbor at a laundromat to wash our loads. Headed to the southern part of the island to snooze under the stars.
Woke up before the sun and hustled down to the beach to watch. I’ve never seen a sunrise over the ocean, so very pretty !! Fell back to sleep for a couple more hours before driving out to a lookout over the coastline, parked Robin and made a delicious breakfast with pancakes and fresh eggs! Read our books on the beach before wandering into town to find Quietside Cafe. After a steaming slice of devine blueberry pie with two scoops vanilla, we wandered to the Sargent Mountain Trail Head to embark on an epic hike. The trail was straight up the side of the mountain at first, with beautifully crafted steps of stone and metal ladders here and there to allow less rock scrambling. Toward the top we stopped by a sweet pond with a croaking frog. The majority of the hike was scaling two bald mountain tops with 360 views and three surrounding coastlines, spectacular! Enjoyed our lunch at the top before the wind guided us back down. After leaving Acadia, we waved good bye to the ocean and headed to inland Maine to sleep for the night.
