I have always wanted to go to Acadia NP because I had heard it was so beautiful and it is. Such a variance in terrain. From pine forests to broad leaf forests to the rocky shore of the ocean.
In certain areas of the park there is lots of color and in other areas there is very little color due to the numerous pine trees. In some places you could see forever it seems.
There is a 20 mile loop that goes through the park and some of the roads pass over stone bridges.
There were pretty streams and lots of ponds and lakes in the park. Every place you stopped it was just beautiful and pictures don't always do justice.
My favorite side of the park was the ocean side. I just love hearing the waves crashing in on the rocks.
There is only one sand beach on the whole Mt. Desert Island where Acadia NP is located. The rest is rocky coastline. We were able to take Belle down to the beach with us and with the combination of the waves coming in and lapping at her feet and the roar of the water she was very excited. She jumped and turned and ran in circles as fast as she could. Would have loved to see what she would have done if she was off lead.
And just to prove that we are ALL on this trip, here we are on Sand Beach in the rain!
