Even at the end of September we found Acadia National Park to be incredibly busy! With long lines and waits, we got out early in the morning, and ventured pretty far outside of the touristy areas to avoid the crowds.

Jordan Pond Loop was absolutely beautiful but you have to get there early in the morning to get a parking spot, and avoid the people. Bar Island trail was just cool to hike because you can only get to this island during low tide.

Ocean Path is a great little walk, just keep in mind it follows next to the road so your experience may be a little tainted by the passing cars. Still beautiful views of the water! Plus there's Thunder Hole and if you haven't seen that, it's worth a stop.

Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse was also pretty busy and overall not really worth stopping through unless you're a diehard lighthouse hunter.

Schoodic Point was really impressive, despite it being covered in fog, but honestly that just added to the appeal of the area.

But the highlight of this trip, was the oddity that is called Nervous Nellies. You have to see it to believe it!
