Leaves Turn on Schedule in Acadia National Park

You will be bedazzled by Acadia’s beauty. The colors have arrived. Driving around yesterday I couldn’t believe the brilliant changes around Bar Harbor.   Somes Sound pictured above was my favorite.

Right on schedule – the coast turns colors last in the state, but to me it is the best of all. I like the beginning where I see lots of green and the occasional spot of color, shimmering brightly in the field.

Drives in the area that feature beautiful landscape and wonderful colors  include Sargent drive, on the east side of Somes Sound, and all around Acadia’s small roads.  You could venture off island and tour Tunk Lake and the Schoodic area of Acadia National park too.

Sunlight is especially brilliant in the fall and the crispness of the weather – low humidity and clear skies makes it easy to hike, bike or just stroll around Acadia. Don’t forget your camera.  For especially stunning photos, wait until the sun’s rays are almost horizontal at sunset. SeaCat’s Rest often has vacancies this time of year. Why, we can’t imagine!
