Firstly, those steep climbs are just mind-boggling. narrowest of ledges, rocky terrain. But the views are absolutely spectacular. Swathes of mesmerizing splendor, slopes bedecked in stunning autumn palette and miles of soothing blue complemented beautifully by a storybook setting. The sunrise and sunsets were equally stunning. Beautiful skies adorned with hues and shades of red gold glory generously brushed with Nature's lovely paintbrush dipped in a glorious palette of Natures choicest colours. Captivating views of foliage framed by autumnal tree branches and an aqua expanse. Loved the viewing. Thanks for sharing

My favorite place on mount desert island is my summer home just 10 minutes from bar harbor. It's so peaceful. For me and my dog Acadia is our happy place and we have done everything there is to do multiple times. Blaze is awesome and super tasty. Acadia has always been a part of my life since 1994. Jordan pond house is a bit over rated though, probably since I've been there so many times. Compass Cove is better since you can still find the ruins of a very old house while running around in the woods.

I live in Boston so Maine isn't that far and we'd go visit in summer and ski in winter, but bar harbor is amazing, a place called otter cliffs, granite ledges with the waves crashing against is beautiful, the view from Cadillac mtn overlooking the ocean is incredible, on the road up the mtn they have little pull off spots that have signs that show how the glaciers carved the land, very informative, camping in the park is great too, salt air, pristine land. Good luck.

Thank you for the video. We go to Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island frequently for decades now. I thought your video and what you presented was well done. I forwarded it to family that will be coming north in June. We will be staying in Southwest Harbor as usual in recent years. I like that you had good video and description of the Precipice Trail. That trail will be closed until mid-July but I wanted family to see what they will miss this June.

Visited Acadia this past summer with my girlfriend. We did everything you did minus Precipice Trail (it was closed) and Beech Mountain. In addition, we saw the sunset on Cadillac Mountain and went over to the Schoodic peninsula for a night of camping. When I did the Beehive Trail, it was so foggy that it was like climbing through a cloud, with absolutely no views, but no height trepidation either.

Pops did an amazing job so happy that you were able to see my home state of Maine. It was pretty cool after following you through the Utah national Parks that we're planning on this spring. You picked the perfect time to come to Maine during the fall with all the colors. Thank you for all your hard work. It's amazing that you get to spend this kind of time with your father your blessed

Sadly a lot of Maine shuts down at Labor Day. Those hikes were amazing Josh! Awesome to know you don't have to take the hard trails to get to the summits. Dad is always nice to see in your videos and he certainly is nailing the time lapse. Cadillac mountain sunrise is a bucket list item for many. Hope to do it one day. Beautiful work as usual.

Josh, I was there with friends a few days behind you. Unfortunately we ran into quite a bit of fog but still had sections that were quite spectacular. You covered a lot of ground that we were unable to since we're not hikers. Thank you for bringing him back lots of great memories and adding a little more context to our trip.

We're headed to Acadia in about a month. Half of us are adventure seekers and the other half not. Thank you so much for the idea of going around the back side of the Beehive! Had not even thought about that! Now my husband and daughter can experience the rungs but my son and I don't have to completely sit this hike out.

I've been to Maine the last 3 years (not making it this year sadly, and the Beehive is still on my list of hikes I want to do. Think your video convinced me I might be able to handle it lol.
Also, glad you were recommended Beech mountain. That view on the way down is actually my current wallpaper on my phone.

Popovers! Wait! We call them Yorkshire puddings in England and have them with on our roast beef dinners. Everyone has their own recipe (usually a family one) or we do a huge one and bake it with sausages in - this is called toad in the hole! When you come to England you must try them Josh

The rocky coast of Maine, will not disappoint. Thunder hole in a choppy sea is amazing one may get wet. There are no large bill board advertising signs in Maine, all signage is regulated. I truly want to return someday. You have rekindled many of my memories.

I was there in the early 80s, pretty much had the place to yourself, you could see lobster in about 12 feet of water near the rocky coast. The time lapse videos are really a boost. The tallest state park east of the Mississippi river is in North Carolina.

Hi Josh
Thanks for sharing as I didn't know much about this park being grom the west coast. The park looks like it has some fun epic hikes. I would like to check it out one day.
Some where did you fly into and how long of a drive to the park?

a question about the entry fee to the park, did you buy the year pass which seems not much more than the daily entry fee, or pay the entry for every day? I am wondering if you are camping inside the park if you just pay the entry for 1 day?

Please tell me you had some blueberry pie when you were up there!
The trees were spectacular this year. I think this is one of my favorite videos of yours. The footage is just beautiful. Thank you and your dad for these!

Those are some amazing views! That looks very rough to hike the Precipice trail & it looked really hard to film while climbing. Thank you & Pops for showing the incredible views. And Pops did a great job on his time lapse!

Enjoyed your video so much, thank you! I spent a few summers in the 90s near the park and was able to visit several times. Wonderful to experience that natural beauty again through your lens- excellent! Subbed.

That sunrise was breathtaking and the time lapse was great. I was blown away by The crowds at such an early time. How many places can be near the ocean and forested area in the same spot

Visiting Maine is definitely a bucket list item of mine and Acadia is a priority. By the way, I pass over any item on a menu that is listed as market price lol
