    Way before you got to R&W, you passed a restaurant on your left in Sullivan called Tracey’s, and they have the best lobster rolls, fried haddock, clams, scallops and steamers.

    Randy, even though it’s not a National Park, further up near the Canadian border is the “bold coast” of Cutler Coast Public Lands. If you ever find yourself back in the area I highly recommend the coastal trail loop. Great video as always!

    Schoodic is beautiful. But the western " lung" of Mount Desert Island, the side including Southwest Harbor, is already referred to as " the quiet side of Acadia".

    I love when you add the Bloopers, LOL. I often shook my head in disbelief at the beauty of God's creation you were sharing. I had no idea of the northern section and am adding this to the list :) I have loved every National Park we have visited but find myself drawn to the water, rock, mountains, and trees, like at Acadia. Can't wait to see it in person.

    Would you say these Schoodic Peninsula hikes are not a vertical as the ones in the rest of the park, like Precipice, Beehive, etc?

    • @AmericasParks
      @AmericasParks  Рік тому +1

      Yeah, they are all relatively mild hikes. Some elevation change, but generally small. Nothing there (that I saw) with rungs, ladders, etc. like the trails you mentioned.

    Hey Pastor, Another awesome video. Did Schoodic twice.Once we put our bikes on a ferry from Bar Harbor to the peninsula, the second time we drove because the boats engine blew and they were waiting on another. Good thing about driving is we took our time and didn't have to race back to catch the boat. What awesome days ,just love it up there....

    Thanks for showing us a side of Acadia that many do not venture to. It appeared very peaceful and still had great views along the rocky shores of the Atlantic. I have been to Acadia three times now and always stuck to the Mt. Desert Island section. Truth be told, I have never of heard of this area or the Isle au Haut section of the park until recently. All the more reason to go back.
    I got a good chuckle from you doing that hike to the overlook and then just being able to drive up there. At least it was a short hike.
