Welcome back to National Parks and other public lands with T!
To supplement the numerous posts I’ve published on Acadia National Park, I’d like to share a couple of videos with you.

Wow.. lovely!! Your post brings back fond memories of our visit to Acadia!
Thanks!
Great Videos! Thanks so much!
Thanks! Glad you liked them!
We were there two years ago and even though the weather wasn’t great, the Park had a great variety of things to do and places to see. I would definitely recommend the bus tour on the first day to get a better grasp of what you can see. And a bike ride on the carriage paths is a must. Plus Bar Harbor has a great brewery and some wonderful bars. How can one go wrong!!
I think the best weather we had there is the time we went in May. It was cold but clear.
It’s a beautiful park. The most fun I had there was hanging out for a week once when I resting up from a 10,000 mile solo bicycle trek I was on before heading to Nova Scotia and my journey back west. Good memories. –Curt
10,000 miles?! Wow!
