their rugged costal perches or the 120 miles of nature trails and 55 miles of roads that wind through Cadillac Mountain and Acadia National Park where on a clear day you’ll be able to see nearly 100 miles. This is leaf peeping at its very best – although we were just a week or two early for prime peeping. You’ll also find the sea faring communities of Passamaquoddy and Cobscook with a vibrant arts scene and America’s only remaining mill producing stone-ground mustard. And, if you had time, the area offers unparalleled fishing and hunting opportunities. It’s another port that we would want to visit for a longer stay. Top: Scene of Bar Harbor Maine.
