Bar Harbor, Maine and Acadia National Park

Along the Jordan Pond Trail in Acadia National Park
Bar Harbor is located on Mount Desert Island on the east coast of Maine.  It has a population of around 5,000 and is one of the favorite tourist destinations along the New England Coastline.  It is also the gateway to the 49,000 acre Acadia National Park.
We arrived early in the morning and headed straight for the national park.  There are free buses from the Village Green which is in the center of town.  The Island Explorer buses have several routes that will take you to the park (#3 bus), around the park (#4 bus) and back to the town (#5 bus).  There are great hiking trails throughout the park.  Here's a few pictures from our day:
