Coast of Maine

Yesterday, we drove up to Bangor, Maine where we rested overnight before exploring the Maine coastal area. This morning, we drove out to Bar Harbor and visited the beautiful Acadia National Park. We began by going to the top of Cadillac Mountain which, at 1530 feet, is the highest point on the US Atlantic Coast. Behind us is the town of Bar Harbor (which we never did get into). Then we spent the rest of the day working our way south along scenic US-1 visiting sites like Sand Beach (Acadia's only sandy beach - the sand is made of crushed shells), Thunder Hole (where the waves crash into a small area - but there were no waves when we were there) and having lunch in the town of Belfast overlooking their scenic harbor.
