🌅 Sunset from the highest point in Acadia National Park.

While Cadillac Mountain is best known for its sunrises, the evening views can be just as unforgettable. Watching the last light of the day sweep across Mount Desert Island, Frenchman Bay, and the surrounding coastline is an experience that never gets old.

🎉 Stay tuned! In one week, we'll be teaming up with Carlo to launch a giveaway featuring a printed copy of this year's Bar Harbor Guidebook cover artwork. The giveaway begins Monday, June 22, and one lucky winner will take home this beautiful piece inspired by Acadia.

The Milkyway rising over Sand Beach & the Great Head in Acadia National Park, Maine ✨🌊🌌

📸This timelapse is comprised of 900+ photographs over the span of 5 hours 💫

Despite being surrounded by granite cliffs and rocky shoreline, Sand Beach is a naturally formed sandy beach made primarily of crushed shell fragments from marine life such as mussels, barnacles, sea urchins, and snails. The small cove helps trap and hold the sediment, allowing the beach to exist along a coastline that is otherwise dominated by exposed rock. Even during summer, the Atlantic water here usually remains cold.

Rising directly beside the beach, Great Head is a granite peninsula shaped by glacial movement and long-term coastal erosion. The headland extends into the Atlantic and provides elevated views of Sand Beach, the surrounding cliffs, and the open ocean. The trail across Great Head follows rugged terrain above the shoreline and is one of the oldest hiking routes in Acadia.

Congratulations on the grand opening and ribbon cutting for the Acadia Gateway Center. Wednesday's ribbon cutting was the cumulation of several decades of planning and hard work. The Acadia Gateway Center is the latest Maine State Visitor Center, staffs Acadia National Park rangers to answer your park related questions, and is the transportation hub for the Island Explorer (which also launched it's service for the season on Wednesday).

Watched the sunset on the edge of the ocean 🌊🌅alongside the stunning Bass Harbor Head Light Station in Acadia National Park Maine 😍♥️

Bass Harbor Head Light was first established in 1858 to help guide vessels entering Bass Harbor and navigating the rocky waters around the southwest side of Mount Desert Island.

The light station includes the lighthouse tower, keeper’s house, and support buildings, all perched on granite cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Fun facts: the tower itself stands only 32 feet tall, but because it sits on elevated cliffs, the light is positioned about 56 feet above sea level. The keeper’s house is still used as a residence for U.S. Coast Guard personnel, and the lighthouse remains an active aid to navigation today.

It is also the only lighthouse located within Acadia National Park, making it one of the park’s most historically significant coastal landmarks.

Earth Day in Acadia National Park 🌎✨

The Milky Way rising over Eagle Lake, one of the access points to the historic carriage road system. After a long winter closure, the Carriage Roads are now open, marking the start of another season to experience this part of the park on foot or by bike.

Built between 1913 and 1940, the carriage roads span about 45 miles and remain closed to motor vehicles. A reminder today of how protected landscapes like Acadia continue to be preserved and experienced as they were intended.

This video is comprised of 1300+ photographs over 4+ hours ✨
