Acadia National Park
Mount Desert Island, Mt Desert Island, Maine, USA
About
Maine's only national park, with 158 miles of hiking trails and some of the most dramatic coastline on the East Coast. The Long Weekender calls it the classic Labor Day weekend trip... crisp air, fewer crowds, and the park at its best. For Cadillac Mountain, skip the 4am sunrise chaos and go for sunset instead... book your vehicle reservation in advance on recreation.gov, and on the way down stop at the pull-offs for the most stunning views over the water.
