Exploring the National Parks

131: Acadia Trip Report


Listen Later

Acadia National Park in July was a whirlwind of foggy mornings, lobster feasts, and sweaty summit hikes! From heated parking lot showdowns at Jordan Pond to the peaceful waves of Schoodic Point, this trip was full of surprises, laughs, and plenty of learning moments.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The absolute chaos of the Jordan Pond parking lot (and how to avoid it)
  • Why fog and humidity made this one of our trickiest trips yet
  • Where to find the best lobster rolls outside of Bar Harbor
  • Mountain summits, hidden gems, and Acadia adventures beyond the crowds
  • Your task for today: We hope we've convinced you that Acadia is still worth the trip, even with its challenges! Head over to the @DirtInMyShoes  Facebook or Instagram page and let us know what you think. Have you ever witnessed a parking lot brawl or cried over the fog in a National Park? We'd love to hear your story!
