Several friends have asked if we took any pictures while we we visited Acadia National Park this summer. The sunrise and sunset pics on Cadillac mountain were some of my favorite moments, but Acadia is huge. We only had four full days, and explored the park by foot, bike and kayak, taking pictures that I believe only capture a glimpse of the incredible beauty that surrounded us. It certainly didn’t hurt that we had four days of sunny, breezy, nearly bug-free adventures. And the one night I sat to stargaze, a brilliant comet sped across the sky, like the sprinkles on top of a perfect day.
A hop, skip and a stroll from our Campsite in Blackwoods |
Eagle Lake: We biked around the lake, sure we took the route with the toughest uphill, but most rewarding downhill. |
We kayaked on Echo Lake, a tough workout for the girls, but they made it! |

Driving up to Cadillac that morning for the sunrise at 3:30 in the morning was simply the most magical moment of my life. The clouds and the colors nourished me in the deepest of places. That part of me that no one can reach except the one who created the sky and the sun and all else.
Every adventure starts with a plan. And every plan starts with a dream. Keep Dreaming Kelly!! -Raj
Living vicariously through you right now, I have always wanted to visit Maine. Definitely on my bucket list.
Or both… like on the Edge of a cliff in Acadia!! Steph, Bar Harbor is such a fun little town, I envisioned my retirement there from the moment we turned the first bend and all you could see was ocean and more ocean! Sigh. Until we return… -Raj
Two of my favorite places, Acadia and edges. Suggest living on one, or the other….
