We visited here from Scotland in 2011. It was amazing. Spent a week in Bar Harbor. Loved taking the free shuttle bus to Arcadia. Cadillac Mountain was amazing. We didn’t manage to get to Jordon Pond. Wish we had. Thank you for bringing back some great memories!
My wife and I took the Cat in 2003 for a weeks vacation to Nova Scotia. We stayed in Bar Harbor the day before and fell in love with the town and Acadia. We now go up up every three years with our Travel trailer. Hiking, biking and kayaking. I want to get back to Nova Scotia again. The coast of Maine has so much to see and do. Great video !!
Wow, thank you so much for the awesome compliment! September is a great time to visit Maine, where are you planning to visit? Thanks for watching and hope you'll continue on the journey with us. 👍 - Howard
@@NewstateNomads No problem, compliments are genuine, you guys are very professional. Flying from Richmond Va to Boston ( non stop ). Driving to Bar Harbor / Acadia. Stopping Kennebunkport , Portland ( Lucky Catch ), Camden ( Surprise Schooner for our 45th anniversary) , and others along the way, many of your recommendations, My wife spent summers growing up on a boat in Conn., got to take her for oysters. Did watch your Grand Canyon trip, we stayed at El Tovar and also ate our meals there. Be well and safe travels. George & Dana
Great video! I will try to go to the west side of Cadillac mountain with my introvert husband. Also I cracked up so much at the news reporter voice 😂😂😂
Great video! Headed up next weekend with a few friends and dogs. I went about 7 years ago, but this was a great refresher! Thanks for providing such a great resource!
We spend a month on MDI every year. Late September is the best! Every year we find something new, a new trail, hike or spot to relax. Dog and Pony tavern is a must stop after a long hike. West street Cafe is awesome too !
@@NewstateNomads I'm definitely there🙂 I'd sure say I got some ideas!!! Actually got guys planned most of my trip for me. I'm so excited. This will be a trip of a lifetime for me. I'm a 68 year old man with cancer so I'm holding nothing back. Love you guys 💖
I don’t know which was more exciting lol - the food tour or those magnificent views. Acadia is at the top of my travel list. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for us when you cross over the NE Border. Safe travels!
Haha, both are equally as important! 😂 good food and good views! Acadia is such a beautiful park! Thank Lis, we are so excited to share more of Canada! 😊💕-Katelyn
We were there around the same time! Olive pup loved Acadia (me too 🙂). It was rainy for me in Bar Harbor as well. I didn't think to look for a food tour there!
@@NewstateNomads that would have been too funny to bump into you all the way in ME! I am back in FL, then CO and NM this fall, then back to FL for winter. Will definitely check out some places from your NM videos. 🌸
So glad we found your channel. We are planning our fall Maine trip and you guys are so informative in your videos. we love that... BTW we are now binge watching your past videos!
Acadia is amazing and our favorite part was the sunset at Cadillac Mountain in the fall of 2021. You did a great job capturing the park and highlighting the top spots to see. We posted our journey of Acadia on our channel as well and we can totally relate to the news reporter talking since Acadia was one of our first videos.
Bar Harbor is one of my favorite places...anywhere. Something very special there. Thank you for all your Maine videos! I'd love to know where you camped in the Bar Harbor area. I'm taking notes for what I hope will be a first RV trip next year!
Loved this! One of my favorite parks. We have been going every year for the last 21 years. (we live 2 hours south). Am really looking forward to the videos of Canada!
Fun to look back at your earlier videos and laugh. Yeah, you've grown in your abilities on camera and continue to learn and improve. Entertaining and fun as always. Keep smiling.
Guide along Is another tour, it tracks you as you go and is really good. There is one for most nat parks and many scenic drives too. It used to be called gypsy guide.
Great video! Can’t wait to see the Canadian maritime. We want to truck camp Newfoundland, I hear that takes almost 2 months to see everything. The bay of Fundy has the largest tide change in the world at around 40 ft at Burntcoat Head in Nova Scotia. Can’t wait to see your videos!
You can also hike up Cadillac Mountain from the Blackwoods campground inside of Acadia for the sunrise! We just did that a couple of days ago. Thanks for the video! You will love eastern Canada and I am looking forward to that video. 😃
@@NewstateNomads I think it was just under 3 hours or so, it was late and got there before moonrise, then hung a hammock and took a snooze until sunrise. Quite shocking to awake to sooooooo many people. 🤣 This was last week. Happy Trails!
It's our second trip up to the Maritimes! Back in 2018, it was our very first trip after hitting the road. Brings back such great memories for us. Where did you travel on your trip 10 years ago? Thanks for watching and we're so glad you're along for the journey! 👍 -Howard
We took the Train from Toronto to Montreal and transferred on the overnight train from Montreal to Halifax. We rented a car and spent 10 days hitting the highlights. Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and back to Cape Breton then came home on the train. It was wonderful
Also, my buddy and I almost got stranded out there on bar island on June 15th. But ended up having to walk back in cold knee high water for about 100 feet! It was scary.
We have been to Acadia many times but never taken a food tour. Looks like we need to put that on the list for our next visit. Looking forward to the Nova Scotiia and beyond videos. Thanks for such entertaining and informative videos.
Oh my gosh! What good timing - my husband and I are going to be staying in Bar Harbor soon and are BEYOND excited! So glad there are a lot of hikes to do with your dogs, that's so rare with national parks unfortunately. Mammoth caves is pretty good about it too, dogs can't go in caves but can most most anywhere else
Just arrived in Nova Scotia after spending last week in Prince Edward Island. We are a week behind on our videos subscriptions. Sorry to have miss you guys.
I'm Australian and recently I found who may biological gran father was. His grandfather was a man from Maine. I am working on my family tree on that branch. Bar Harbour keeps coming up often so while I am looking through ancestry. I decided to watch videos of that area. You video is the first. I am at awe of the island. It is very fascinating and pretty. I love the stories on howit got it name and everything.
Funny you say that. I’m into ancestry and had found I hate a distant relative living in Bar Harbor. I didn’t know the first time I was there in 2021. Found him later and found out he had passed away. 😢
I seriously need to go back to Maine with my husband lol.. I haven’t been to Arcadia National Park so definitely going there! Looking forward to your videos in Nova Scotia! ❤️❤️
Hi Kim! Yes, you should definitely add it to your list. We love that park and all of Maine! We're so excited to share our Canada videos! They're going to be great! -Katelyn
We always love you videos and are really stoked about this one because we leave in the morning for 4 nights (in a tent😳😂) in Acadia!! Thank you so much for the tips and we are looking forward to seeing the Bay of Fundi thru your lens! Safe travels😎
Next time you're in Maine keep going North to Baxter State Park! If you can get yourselves to Chimney Pond, you'll almost certainly see moose, and sometimes black bears! Baxter also has one of the fastest moving waterfalls in the US!
Place is packed in the summer I see. My friend went up last summer and it was people everywhere. I haven’t been up that far but it’s definitely on my list. Maine has beaches but wow that water is cold 🥶. Great video and can’t wait to see Canada eh’ 😂
Very true. It's tricky with northern destinations like Maine to find a warmer time that ISN'T crowded. 😂 Usual tricks work, too: mid-week, May or September, etc. Believe it or not, we found a WARM water beach up in Canada. Stay tuned! 👍-Howard
Absolutely right, Beth! We love meeting the people and exploring Maine. The Canadian Maritimes will be a lot of fun, though. Can't wait to hear what you think of the upcoming episodes! 👍 -Howard
Such a beautiful video!! Those mountains were amazing. So glad Scout could go with you. To bad other places are so dog restricted. It was really interesting to listen to your Guide,thank you for that. You’re going to my country!! ❤️
We get so excited any time we can bring Scout along because she loves exploring so much! It makes sense in some of the other parks, because of the wildlife it can be a danger to the dogs. But it's always a treat when there are dog friendly trails! And yes! Can't wait to share more beauty of Canada! 😊 -Katelyn
Loved the video. Will be looking forward to your visit to Nova Scotia. One of my favorite YT channels is James Blackwood Raccoon Whisperer. He lives in Nova Scotia and his relationship with the raccoons is such fun to watch. Nova Scotia and PEI were on my bucket list to visit. You'll do it for me.
We looked that channel up and that is SO COOL! Racoons are adorable haha And yes, we will gladly take you there virtually! Can't wait to share those special places with you! ❤😊 -Katelyn
They are both good, but we still enjoy the presentation and fun of GuideAlong (formerly GyPSy Guides). If you end up buying a guide from them, here's our link! guidealong.com/tour/acadia-national-park/?afmc=3x2&
We were just at the park on July 20. Way to much traffic for a small area. Cadillac MTN was great. Northern Maine much better as most people dont like to travel that far. Check out Moose alley.Hwy 201. It was to warm for us. We drove that back roads of gravel and ruts, Need a 4x4 to do it right.
We want to visit Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire and Boston. Should we pick one or two places to stay and have day trips from there or should we stay in each town and spend 2 days in each town. We know nothing about the New England area.
Thanks once AGAIN for a wonderful, fun, yet very informative video! I always look forward to the Newstate’s next one, as you have everything going for you: incredibly interesting places to visit; the best videography on UA-cam; both of you have terrific speaking or narrative voices; and, of course, you’re such a cute couple! I certainly know putting together a video that 99% of the public would like is a difficult job, but a question: Do you sit down with Yelp or some other platform, and decide where you’ll eat each meal, or do you get personal recommendations, or what? You always seem to have found the perfect places to dine! ALSO: my husband, Tim, says Maine is not particularly RV friendly, as several states are along the East coast. Have you had any difficulty finding places to stay there? Love and my very best wishes, Virginia.
Aww Virginia! Thank you SO much!! Such high praise ❤😊 That means a lot to us! We do a lot of research ahead of time and it could be a mix of google reviews, other travel blogs, talking with locals or tourism boards! I would say Maine (and the East Coast in general) isn't boondocking friendly. It's much hard to find free camping out this way compared to the west. However, we never had an issue finding a spot an an RV park!
Lisa, it's called the "Bar Island land bridge" on Google Maps. There's paid street parking all around it, which fills up fast around low tide. If you're staying nearby, you can always take the free shuttle busses that run during the summer season, too! Thanks for watching, and hope you'll continue on the journey with us. 👍 -Howard maps.app.goo.gl/Fhpxne46HZJpPUsz9
Deborah, we're both right, AND (depending on time of year) wrong at the same time! 😂 NPS proclaims as we said in the video that Oct 6 - March 7 it's Cadillac Mtn. Lubec is definitely further east (and has the beautiful lighthouse which we visited in 2018) and is "first" for several weeks, but according to this article the sunrise is blocked for a full 5 minutes most of the year by a nearby island. It's an interesting quick read! Thanks so much for watching. 👍 -Howard newengland.com/today/living/new-england-environment/where-in-the-united-states-does-the-sun-shine-first/
if it becomes too crowded in the main part area, head on over to schoodic point, much less crowded, and just as scenic. stop in winter harbor, a great small general store, and an antiques; store.
Hi there! The two times we've visited, we did not have a reservation. I think they do take them, but we didn't find it necessary. If you're on a tight timeline, you could call and check. They indicate on their website that 'new reservation slots open daily' but I didn't see a place to make a reservation. Hope that helps! Enjoy! ☺️
Rocks vary because the granite came from many different areas in Europe. Plus ice age cut into them, at least three times, making the rock views remarkable. If you go to Central Park in New York, you can walk by giant granite boulders that are scored from the ice age. Lots of video on the subject of all these things. Have fun!
Which is surprising given the popularity of nearby Acadia! We love this part of Maine, so much to explore. Thanks for watching, and hope you'll continue on the journey with us! 👍 Howard

Your production values/photography has improved greatly for sure! Everything just looks so gorgeous! I need a "popover" in my life.
Thanks so much for the kind words, Dani! We work hard on these episodes, and it means a lot to hear that. ♥️ -Howard

Aww thank you SO much!! So glad you enjoyed this one too! 😊 -Katelyn
I love Bar Harbor. I stayed there when I ran MDI marathon, it was a delight to visit!
WOW, what a beautiful place for a marathon, Devon! Did it route through Acadia or elsewhere on the island? Thanks for watching! 👍 -Howard
@@NewstateNomads Yep goes on the road through Acadia all the way to Southwest Harbor. Maine in the fall was so pretty!
So loved the 2018 make up, not only news casting, but makeup also. ❤❤❤
Ok thank you for appreciating that! I was laughing so hard at the frosty eye shadow and dark eyelashes! 😆💕
What a great tour. Will be visiting there in September...can't wait.
Thanks Michael! Hope you have an awesome trip, it's such a beautiful place!

Thank you so much! I actually got it in Damariscotta at Maine Booch. He upcycles shirts he finds at thrift stores and adds his logo to the back. 😊
