HIKE #1: Great Head Trail Loop
AllTrails description and review:
Jumping off from Sand Beach, a very popular spot for park lovers, the Great Head Trail Loop is a moderate excursion that totals 1.6 miles if you complete the entire thing. Great vantage points of the cliffs and ocean and plenty of opportunities to scamper around on the coastal rocks and get great photos of tidepools and much more.
It is ranked #8 of 145 trails in Acadia National Park by AllTrails.com . And we highly recommend it!

HIKE #2: Precipice Trail
AllTrails description and review:
If you want some heart-pounding thrills as you scale the side of a mountain and hold on for dear life, this is the trail for you. It is not for the faint of heart even though it is only 1.4 miles round trip, and it is not recommended for young children. There are signs warning of serious injury and death as a possibility on this trek so be sure you are ready to go all in on this one.
**Note: The trail is normally closed from Mar 15 to Aug 15 due to peregrine falcon nesting in the area, but we lucked out this year and they had just opened it back up the day before our hike in late July.
AllTrails ranks this trail as #3 out of 145 trails in Acadia, the highest ranking out of these three trails we got to hike. Not to be missed, folks!

HIKE #3: Ocean Path Trail
AllTrails description and review:
In all honesty, we just hiked a small portion of this trail, from Thunder Hole to Monument Cove. There was just so much to take in and enjoy along the coast line on that foggy evening that our two hours went far too fast and the light started fading. But what we did see was truly magical, as you can pick up from the video (which still can't do it justice, obviously).
The entire trail is a total of 3.9 miles out and back, but you can do any size section of it that suits you and I guarantee you will get everything you bargained for and more.
AllTrails.com ranks it as #7 out of 145 trails in Acadia National Park, so you know it's not too shabby. :)
______________________________________
We definitely hope these three trail recommendations help you to make the most of your visit to Acadia National Park. We didn't get to see even a fraction of what the park offers in the week that we spent in the area, but I have every intention of getting back to Acadia one of these days to continue my exploration.
As always, thank you so much for watching and for sharing this entire experience with us. We are extremely grateful and are so glad to have you along for the adventure.

Acadia Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Acadia in England.
From the steep cliffs of New England’s coast to the north of the State of Maine the power of the sea manifests itself. The region is home to the Acadia National Park whose magnificent forests have made it a popular sightseeing destination.Wealthy entrepreneurs were once attracted to the captivating town of Bar Harbour and had their summer homes there. Since then the region has become a little less glamorous but idyllic scenery and picturesque areas such as Jordan Pond are still exceptionally beautiful. As the name Indian Summer suggests, New England’s most well known season dates back to the golden years of the Native American Indian. The warm days at the beginning of autumn were once the most important time of the year for hunting because it was then that the region’s animals grazed prior to the onset of winter. According to legend the strong dark red colour of the leaves symbolized the blood of slaughtered bears. The ‘autumn summer’ was thus closely associated with the Native Indian hunters of old. Even today the Acadia National Park combines all the natural beauty of Maine in a unique way that captivates all those who experience its irresistible charm.

Mountain Biking the Carriage Roads in Acadia National Park - Bar Harbor, Maine
Today we are visiting the stunning Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor, Maine. Much to my chagrin there is no mountain biking on the island, but of course that wasn’t enough to stop me from finding an excuse to ride. Way back in the early 20th century a vast network of crushed stone roads were built throughout Acadia National Park for the use of hikers, horse riders, and most importantly, bikers. No cars allowed thank you very much. These trails, commonly referred to as the “Carriage Roads” are in my option one of the coolest ways to experience the park, soak in its beautiful features all while pedaling your little heart out.
But I wasn’t alone for this adventure. My wife and our good friends Jon, Judy, and their daughter all saddled up for our 20 mile, five and a half hour tour of the Carriage Roads.
Along the way we stopped at a handful of the beautiful, granite bridges built throughout the carriage roads. Each one was individually designed with the intent to both blend into the background and be a work of art to admire all on their own.
Once you are done checking out the bridges be sure to plan ahead so you can grab lunch at the Jordan Pond House. This restaurant is right inside the park, has a sweet name, and the expectedly fantastic views are matched by delicious food and drink.
The week we spend exploring the park is something I look forward to doing every year. I am so glad that this year I was able to share our biking adventure with you. If you want to see more videos like this one click subscribe and drop me a note below what you thought of Acadia National Park.
Thank you so much for watching. Now it’s your turn, get out there and ride.
