A few weeks back , Lori and I went on a long weekend trip to Maine , we stayed in Bar Harbor in a nice bed and breakfast and spent a few days in Acadia National Park. Beautiful , man - beautiful
The park is basically a driving park , driving winding scenic roads throughtout the park (27 mile loop trail + some further less popular but just as beautiful areas )
Every other turn is a beautiful bluff overlooking mountains , or ocean , or the fjord (steep walled inlet of a sea created by glacial gouging.) or lakes , or just ridiculous views of ridiculous distances - There are a number of Site Attraction stops , such as Cadilac mountain where you drive to the top of one of the tallest peaks in the northeast , Thunder hole where the ocean meets the rocky surf , at one point we were on a trail that climbed a mountain where our view was of a lake beneath us , the fjord to the left of us(i didn`t know the us had fjords , i thought that was icelands claim to fame ), over other mountains , Islands and the ocean beyond in a 280 degree radius , unfreakin believable -http://www.acadia.national-park.com/
Did a lot of hiking, and checking out some natural beauty of the world.
bar harbor is a tourist town with all the specialty shops hawking all sorts of crap and some pretty good restaurants- not much in the way of bars but we had a couple of drinks in a few spots
The bed and breakfast was cool , nice place , nice room - good breakfast - we stayed at the primrose inn. http://www.primroseinn.com/
