Bar Harbor : Beautiful hiking, driving, or walking

"Bah Hahbah" is true "Down East." Worth a trip if you want to, say, get engaged on a mountaintop w/ a pristine view of the Atlantic. Bar Harbour & the rest of Acadia/Mt. Desert Island are what people think of when they picture the Maine Coast. Beautiful drives, great hikes & easy walks & incredible vies (many even accessible by car) Busy in summer, but perfect in Spring or Fall. Favorite Attractions: Beehive, Precipice Trail, Cadilac by car Favorite Restaurants: Jordan Pond, Others in Town more...
