Les meilleurs événements de la ville Bar Harbour. Visite autoguidée en voiture et à pied du parc national d'Acadia et de Bar Harbor commander (réserver en ligne) tickets.afisha.life. Experience beautiful, historic Maine with this combo of Acadia and Bar Harbor tours

1

Park Loop Road

Our self-guided driving tour enters the famous Park Loop Road of Acadia. We'll follow this loop all around the park, ending at the summit of Cadillac mountain.

2

Precipice Trail

As our tour continues, we'll pass the Precipice Trail. This is a great hike for those in the mood for a little physical detour. It's also home to the endangered peregrine falcon! These birds tend to build their nests on high rocky ledges, where non-flying animals can’t reach the eggs. The steep face of this mountain is perfect for that!

3

Ocean Path

Here we've got a second option for a detour: Ocean Path Trail. If the steep inclines of Pecipice Trail weren't your style, the gentle, winding path here is a great alternative.

4

Sand Beach

Next up: Sandy Beach! At just 290 yards long, the beach is small, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in fascinating natural history. You might notice a slight greenish tint to the sand. That’s because of the sea urchins!

5

Thunder Hole

We'll also see Thunder Hole, a natural rock inlet where waves crash with a thunderous boom.

6

Monument Cove

Monument Cove is another example of the seemingly miraculous force of nature. Water and time have worn away at the granite over the centuries, leaving behind a twenty-foot tall pillar of rock that looks like a man-made sculpture.

7

Otter Cliff

Next up as we drive as the stunning Otter Cliff and Otter Cove. At the top of Otter Cliff, it’s a steep 110-foot drop down to the chilly Atlantic.

8

Jordan Pond

Our self-guided tour brings us to Jordan Pond next. We'd highly recommend pausing here to appreciate the views and the restaurant. Jordan Pond was carved out of the earth twenty thousand years ago by a massive glacier.

9

Bubble Pond

Bubble Pond is another glacial remnant, hollowed out of the ground tens of thousands of years ago by a massive ice sheet descending on the island from the Arctic.

10

Eagle Lake Acadia National Park

Our drive brings us past Eagle Lake, which serves as the water source for Bar Harbor. It’s also a food source for local birds.

11

Holy Redeemer Catholic Church

Next up are two churches. They’ll both leave an impression — but in totally different ways!

12

Frenchman Bay

You're walking along the coast of Frenchman Bay. Wait — why is it named for the French? Simple! It's because of all the French expeditions that took place here in the 1500s. Long before the land could be settled by European colonists, it had to be charted, mapped and evaluated. France’s Samuel de Champlain did just that. While Spain’s conquistadors looked for gold in South America, the French focused on the fur trade in the North.

Route de la boucle du parc

Notre visite en voiture autoguidée entre dans la célèbre route Park Loop Road d'Acadia. Nous suivrons cette boucle tout autour du parc, se terminant au sommet de la montagne Cadillac.

50

Sentier des précipices

Au fur et à mesure que notre visite se poursuit, nous passerons par le Precipice Trail. C'est une excellente randonnée pour ceux qui ont envie d'un petit détour physique. C'est aussi l'habitat du faucon pèlerin en voie de disparition ! Ces oiseaux ont tendance à construire leurs nids sur de hauts rebords rocheux, où les animaux non volants ne peuvent pas atteindre les œufs. La face escarpée de cette montagne est parfaite pour ça !

51

Chemin de l'océan

Ici, nous avons une deuxième option pour un détour : Ocean Path Trail. Si les pentes raides de Pecipice Trail n'étaient pas votre style, le chemin doux et sinueux est une excellente alternative.

52

Plage de sable

Prochaine étape : la plage de sable ! À seulement 290 mètres de long, la plage est petite, mais ce qui lui manque en taille, elle le compense par une histoire naturelle fascinante. Vous remarquerez peut-être une légère teinte verdâtre sur le sable. C'est à cause des oursins !

53

Trou de tonnerre

Nous verrons également Thunder Hole, une entrée rocheuse naturelle où les vagues s'écrasent avec un boom tonitruant.

54

Anse du monument

Monument Cove est un autre exemple de la force apparemment miraculeuse de la nature. L'eau et le temps ont usé le granit au fil des siècles, laissant derrière lui un pilier de roche de vingt pieds de haut qui ressemble à une sculpture artificielle.

55

Falaise de loutre

Ensuite, nous conduisons vers les magnifiques Otter Cliff et Otter Cove. Au sommet d'Otter Cliff, c'est une chute abrupte de 110 pieds vers l'Atlantique glacial.

56

Étang du Jourdain

Notre visite autoguidée nous amène ensuite à Jordan Pond. Nous vous recommandons vivement de faire une pause ici pour apprécier la vue et le restaurant. Jordan Pond a été creusé dans la terre il y a vingt mille ans par un glacier massif.

57

Étang à bulles

Bubble Pond est un autre vestige glaciaire, creusé du sol il y a des dizaines de milliers d'années par une énorme calotte glaciaire descendant sur l'île depuis l'Arctique.

58

Parc national d'Eagle Lake Acadia

Notre route nous amène devant Eagle Lake, qui sert de source d'eau pour Bar Harbor. C'est aussi une source de nourriture pour les oiseaux locaux.

59

Église catholique du Saint Rédempteur

Ensuite, il y a deux églises. Ils laisseront tous les deux une impression - mais de manière totalement différente!

60

Baie des Français

Vous marchez le long de la côte de Frenchman Bay. Attendez - pourquoi porte-t-il le nom des Français? Simple! C'est à cause de toutes les expéditions françaises qui ont eu lieu ici dans les années 1500. Bien avant que la terre ne puisse être colonisée par des colons européens, elle devait être cartographiée, cartographiée et évaluée. C'est exactement ce que le Français Samuel de Champlain a fait. Alors que les conquistadors espagnols cherchaient de l'or en Amérique du Sud, les Français se concentraient sur le commerce des fourrures dans le Nord.

Otter Cliff

Next up as we drive as the stunning Otter Cliff and Otter Cove. At the top of Otter Cliff, it’s a steep 110-foot drop down to the chilly Atlantic.

Jordan Pond

Our self-guided tour brings us to Jordan Pond next. We'd highly recommend pausing here to appreciate the views and the restaurant. Jordan Pond was carved out of the earth twenty thousand years ago by a massive glacier.

141

Bubble Pond

Bubble Pond is another glacial remnant, hollowed out of the ground tens of thousands of years ago by a massive ice sheet descending on the island from the Arctic.

142

Eagle Lake Acadia National Park

Our drive brings us past Eagle Lake, which serves as the water source for Bar Harbor. It’s also a food source for local birds.

143

Holy Redeemer Catholic Church

Next up are two churches. They’ll both leave an impression — but in totally different ways!

144

Frenchman Bay

You're walking along the coast of Frenchman Bay. Wait — why is it named for the French? Simple! It's because of all the French expeditions that took place here in the 1500s. Long before the land could be settled by European colonists, it had to be charted, mapped and evaluated. France’s Samuel de Champlain did just that. While Spain’s conquistadors looked for gold in South America, the French focused on the fur trade in the North.
