OVERVIEW

Follow one of the most spectacularly scenic roads on the east coast as it loops through Acadia National Park. You can expect to see one stunning view after another as you pass coastal highlights such as Sand Beach, Schooner Head Overlook and High seas, a colonial revival-style estate on the National Register of Historic Places. You will also enjoy magnificent views of Penobscot Mountains and the twin rounded mountains known as the Bubbles. If conditions permit, you will ascend even higher to Cadillac Mountain, which offers the best elevated viewpoint. It is the highest point along the North Atlantic seaboard and has the distinction of being the first place in the United States to watch the sunrise from early October through early March. While pausing at the summit, you will gaze out over Bar Harbor and the Porcupine Islands in the distance.
