July 9, 2011: My friends, Mariellen and Mindy and I took a girls trip to New England. We spent two nights in Bar Harbor and explored Acadia National Park, the second-most visited National Park in America. We started out on the 27-mile Park Loop Road and our first stop was at Sand Beach.
Thunder Hole
Gorham Mountain
Wildwood Stables. This is where you can take carriage rides on Rockefeller's famous carriage roads.
The view from Jordan Pond House. Gorgeous. And the poppers and food are DELICIOUS! We had dinner here and it was the best meal of the trip! However, the restaurant is closed from October thru April.
One entrance, of many, to the 57-mile network of carriage roads.
And no trip to Acadia is complete without watching sunrise from the top of Cadillac Mountain! This is the spot where America catches it's first rays of sunlight, so if you go (at 4:50 am), you (and the others on the mountain with you) are the first person in America to see the sun on that day! How cool is that?
Verdict: Yes! I loved it!!
Note: When I went to Acadia, I made a notation in my book that, where it says "the swooping 20-mile park loop road", it should in fact say "the swooping 27-mile..." And sure enough, in the 2nd Edition, they updated it with the correct mileage 👍
