After spending some time in Bar Harbor, we decided to go back to Northeast Harbor (mainly for the free showers haha). There is a free bus, sponsored by L.L. Bean, that provides free transportation all over Mount Desert Island. Therefore, we decided to rent bikes for the ride into Acadia National Park and take the bus back.
Acadia National Park ranks as the second most popular national park in the country, next to Yellowstone. Over five million people visit the park each year, which is several times more than the population of Maine. The park is home to 35,000 acres and 57 miles of carriage roads used by bicyclist, hikers, and horse-drawn carriages.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who gave almost one-third of the park’s present acreage, established the roads that include numerous rustic stone bridges.
More pictures of our ride through Acadia National Park :) It looks flat in this picture, but it felt like we were riding up-hill BOTH ways!
Here is a picture of our lunch spot:
We were exhausted by the end of the day, and the free bus ride back to the harbor was a relief :)
