Acadia National Park in Maine is a stunning area in the north east United States that encompasses many different islands and tons of fun adventures ranging from seeing the sunrise at the first place in the USA to hiking the popular Beehive Trail. My dad and I spent 36 hours here in the fall and loved getting to know this spectacular park. Let me know what your favorite part of the park is in the comments.

Hey Josh! Just watched Day 1 on YT on my TV. Had to come over to my desktop to tell you. My heart was in my mouth!!!! I actually shook while you were climbing the Precipice. I give you a lot of credit for actually filming while climbing. That must have been quite a task! You earn a gold star for this one man! And Pops can do no wrong in my book. He is a trooper! Digging his bigger part in your trips. Good job Pops!

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

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.

I lived in Maine for over 5 years, not far from Bar Harbor- and you did a great job showing Acadia park! Summer is very busy with tourists. I too enjoyed sunrise from Cadillac mountain and it is a treat! It randomly popped up so I watched your west coast tour now this- that’s how I found your awesome channel! Cheers to you and your pops- great time lapse videos he does!! A less known treat is Schoodic Point.. during high tide is the best!! Generally it’s not busy. Just as gorgeous as Bar Harbor!!

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.

However, now i m able to appreciate this breathtaking sunrise through your lens. we watched the high wave crashing a small inlet causing thunder like sound at thunder hole. It was so thrilled. Definitely i should check this place again. Beehive hiking trail is also my must go place lists. Thank you so much for sharing this magnificent colorful view🍁🌷

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.

What a great video on Acadia National Park! You and Pops sure crammed alot into 36 hours. We were there for the first time in June for 3 nights and didn’t do nearly as much hiking. Couldn’t get reservation for Jordan Pond and were traveling in our RV so there are significant limitations on where we could drive and park. So we took the free shuttle system which worked great, except we caught COVID on it. Knocked us out for 10 days. Walked to Bass Harbor Lighthouse from our RV Park. Got the close view, but missed the rocks view. Also, stayed at the other area of the Park- the Schoodic Peninsula and was a very nice campground and less crowded coastal views

While looking out over the Atlantic did you notice the color difference? The Atlantic Ocean is green in color while the Pacific Ocean is much bluer. Have dipped my toes in both. Josh I think you're crazy! Risking your neck to that degree is ridiculous! Pops time lapse is awesome. He's gotten really good with the camera. In a different video I mentioned New England is beautiful but one drawback is it is pricey. one of the best parts of your videos is your great relish when you achieve something difficult. Popovers are New England delights. My aunt used to make them once in a while when i was a kid. Yummy!

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.

Eek I’ve been waiting for this video to come out! My Acadia plan that I made a few weeks ago is matching up to these hikes nicely, can’t wait for October next year. I have Bass Harbor lighthouse for sunrise one day then Beehive for sunrise of the next, with South Bubble/Jordan, Ship Harbor and Beech, Great Head and Otter for sunset added in. And I heard Stadium has the better popover 😝 Keep the ideas coming! Let’s see Stowe next 🤘🏼 ~Kristin

Cadillac Mountain is the best place on the whole east coast to see the sunrise. I went there a few years ago at 5:00 in the morning and waited for the sunrise. It is the first place to see the sunrise in the US. Great time lapse by Pops!
