Visiting Acadia National Park |
  |
| After Bar Harbor, I entered Acadia, New England’s only national park. Despite being a relatively small island shared with people, deer, bobcats, bear, and even moose live here. At one point mountain lions and wolves also made Mt Desert Island their home but were driven out. |
  |
| There are plenty of challenging sports to do in Acadia, which include things from hiking and kayaking to rock climbing or mountain biking. Above is a photo of sand beach, where lots of people come to just enjoy the sun. I’m sure later in the year there will be more people in the water after it warms up a bit. On the right is one of the mountains on the island. |

| Until I return to Maine, these are the only good wildlife shots I got, and they are just seagulls! Next time I visit Maine, I’d like to do a backpacking trip into Baxter park which is farther north and pretty remote. These gulls let me get fairly close, which is mostly why I was able to get a decent picture of them. When I visit Baxter, I expect it to be more of a wilderness and a challenge to approach wildlife. |

| These surrounding photos are some I took while hiking on random trails. The top two are at a higher elevation that mostly had pine trees and dry shrubs. The forest below was by the close. |
