An unique national park that combines coastal and mountain feelings. Whether you are a beach person or a mountain person, you'll have plenty things to do at Acadia.
Top priorities if you only have limited time and wanna enjoy easy hikes:
1. Ocean path trail: starting at sand beach, go pass Thunder Hole and ends in Otter cliffs. Enjoy the rustic coastal cliffs.
2. Drive to the top of Cadillac Mountain. The view is amazing
3. Jordon Pond trail: an easy stray along the pond and see the Bubbles from a distance.
4. Bubble rock: a fun place to do some creative photographs. There are three trails that leads to the Bubble rock near the summit of South Bubble, which has amazing views of the pond.
- The first is from the Bubble parking lot and is the easiest, which you need to be early in the morning to secure a spot.
- The second one through the other side of the South Summit trail and much steeper. The trail head is located at the northeast corner of Jordon Pond. This can be combined with the Jordan Pond trail by descending through the Bubble Dividend trail, which is also quiet steep.
- The third one is located near the south of Jordon Pond and actually goes to the Bubbles parking lot first.
Maryland Height trail is good for all ages with beautiful overlook of Hapers Ferry and the merge of Shenandoah River and Potomac River. Will come back for a more greenish view and sunset!
