Acadia National Park is located on Mount Desert Island in Bar Harbor, ME. This would be the first national park east of the Mississippi and is also the first place that will see the sunrise each morning in the United States as well from October to early March. There are many places to explore here, but I only had a few hours as I was here visiting with a cruise ship on October 2, 2019.Before coming here, I had prearranged a tour of Acadia National Park with a private tour company. Due to tendering issues, we had to start at a later time than originally planned. We would explore parts of the Park Loop Road, Cadillac Mountain, Wild Gardens of Acadia, and Thunder Hole. Weather was cool for the day, with overcast skies and temperatures in the low 50s. This review will be more of an overview of each of the locations visited. I posted a more detailed review of each of the locations on their own page.After about 15 minutes or so, we were inside Acadia National Park. We would do most of our travels in the park along the Park Loop Road. Our first stop along this trip was Cadillac Mountain. It was cool and very windy. However, that didn't stop me from taking in the views. There were great views of Frenchman Bay, including a view of the Disney Magic, which was the cruise ship I was on. The panoramic views were stunning, even with the overcast conditions. There was also some information on the history of the park and other general information here as well.Our next stop would be the Wild Gardens of Acadia. Travel time was about 25 minutes to get here after leaving Cadillac Mountain. We would have about 20 minutes to explore the gardens. There is a nature center where you can get info on the past of this area, as well as what the future may hold. You can easily get lost in time visiting the gardens. It is a beautiful location to visit within the park and should not be missed.Our last stop in the park was definitely the highlight of the tour. This stop would be Thunder Hole. We would have about 20 minutes to visit this location as well. The timing was pretty good, as we were there about an hour or so before high tide. I spent most of that time taking photos and video of Thunder Hole. I was even able to score video of one of the thunders there. This was a breathtaking experience. If I had more time here, I would have stayed much longer, as there were some nice views to take in there.Overall, the park visit was excellent. It was more than I expected. The views were stunning at each of the locations visited, as well as some of the spots passed on the way to each of the stops. If I come back up this way outside of a cruise, I plan to spend much more time in the park and explore other areas there too. Acadia National Park is a must do attraction when visiting Bar Harbor. You will not be disappointed.
