Visiting in early November was perfect; the sky changed every day, the air was cool, the park was beautiful. <p/>Photos can be seen in the gallery <a href="https://www.denisegoldberg.com/Travel/Acadia-November-2026/Late-autumn-Acadia"><b>late autumn, Acadia</b></a>. <center><a href="https://www.denisegoldberg.com/Travel/Acadia-November-2026/Late-autumn-Acadia/i-GHn2hTF/A"><img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/Travel/Acadia-November-2026/Late-autumn-Acadia/i-GHn2hTF/0/NZzt9NZvR9ZnDVcKfhNjrFZfnkL2MdZT8xRN2BwK2/M/202611_XT5_4872-M.jpg" alt="view from the end of the trail at Schooner Head Overlook, Acadia National Park" title="view from the end of the trail at Schooner Head Overlook, Acadia National Park"></a></center>Denise Goldberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08049223586218975704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15440744.post-10807220014904910332026-11-04T18:06:31.914-05:002026-11-04T18:32:24.970-05:00A morning walk along the rocky coastline marked the end of my quick visit to Acadia National Park. <p/>I find I'm happy visiting there in November. The weather was acceptable (cool, a little damp, then warmer today), and the park was lightly populated with people. <p/>It was easy to absorb the beauty around me. <center><a href="https://www.denisegoldberg.com/Fragments/Quick-glimpses/i-qKFQcp7/A"><img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/Fragments/Quick-glimpses/i-qKFQcp7/0/MmMp8kFshWNCqLNCkWpnMghv4fXFCDjWmRrgpX9W9/550x550/202611_XT5_5086-L.jpg" alt="view from Ocean Path in Acadia National Park"></a></center>Denise Goldberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08049223586218975704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15440744.post-934876995271316932026-11-03T16:03:50.482-05:002026-11-03T16:03:50.482-05:00<i>The afternoon was cool and occasionally drizzly but definitely good for bouncing (me!) and walking (Denise). <p/>Walking part of Ocean Path allowed us to enjoy the rocky coastline and the ocean. That was a good start to the afternoon. Next up was a walk around part of Jordan Pond and then a stop at Eagle Lake. <p/>I love that there are so many different things to see here. <blockquote>--- Rover</blockquote></i> <center><a href="https://www.denisegoldberg.com/Fragments/Photos-by-phone/i-jM4qffH/A"><img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/Fragments/Photos-by-phone/i-jM4qffH/0/MPXbBLrpjk3XkzxhCMbrkwzHRvV8D2NGZ8Hq39NLW/M/20261103_115909-M.jpg" alt="along Ocean Path in Acadia National Park" title="along Ocean Path in Acadia National Park"></a> <p/><p/><a href="https://www.denisegoldberg.com/Fragments/Photos-by-phone/i-JvQ8wfr/A"><img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/Fragments/Photos-by-phone/i-JvQ8wfr/0/MJKz4mZnndmfTtrP5jsJHFxftj8pJKPZ9X4SGqxHZ/M/20261103_120943-M.jpg" alt="along Ocean Path in Acadia National Park" title="along Ocean Path in Acadia National Park"></a> <p/><p/><a href="https://www.denisegoldberg.com/Fragments/Photos-by-phone/i-CSShFNn/A"><img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/Fragments/Photos-by-phone/i-CSShFNn/0/LhjXNnCPv57M3Tw4gZQ5hm9jjX2WZdZtPKQwBTD6G/M/20261103_144055-M.jpg" alt="Eagle Lake, Acadia National Park" title="Eagle Lake, Acadia National Park"></a> </center>Denise Goldberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08049223586218975704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15440744.post-66785613971810213112026-11-03T15:51:17.112-05:002026-11-03T15:51:17.112-05:00<i>Even though it was a bit drizzly it still felt like a good day to walk into the park. Denise likes to do a loop from Bar Harbor to The Tarn via Jesup Path, then back again. That's what we did! <p/>Denise was glad she had her rain jacket, and Blue & I were happy to hide in her camera bag when there was water in the air. It really didn't get too wet. <blockquote>--- Rover </blockquote></i> <center><a href="https://www.denisegoldberg.com/Fragments/Photos-by-phone/i-LtRszks/A"><img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/Fragments/Photos-by-phone/i-LtRszks/0/NWtScNTXqjV9T4VZSLKSkKmqSsCtBF7T2xG3j3gQD/550x550/20261103_090754-L.jpg" alt="Jesup Path boardwalk" title="Jesup Path boardwalk"></a> <p/><p/><a href="https://www.denisegoldberg.com/Fragments/Photos-by-phone/i-kKjDJZj/A"><img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/Fragments/Photos-by-phone/i-kKjDJZj/0/KF57vZFTW5rwCCfPQHz7N6NsR228Cb8k8J9RXtBSd/550x550/20261103_093317-L.jpg" alt="trees reflecting in The Tarn" title="trees reflecting in The Tarn"></a> </center>Denise Goldberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08049223586218975704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15440744.post-8034423840356906912026-11-02T16:17:18.415-05:002026-11-02T16:17:18.415-05:00<i>We started the afternoon by walking the Witch Hole Pond Loop, starting at the Duck Brook Bridge. Sometimes it's nice to walk a flat loop instead of walking over tilted rocks. <p/>When we finished we walked the short Schooner Head Overlook trail (after stopping at an unnamed viewpoint to enjoy trees wearing bright colors). <p/>It was a very good day! <blockquote>--- Rover</blockquote></i> <center><a href="https://www.denisegoldberg.com/Fragments/Photos-by-phone/i-X59J9Zj/A"><img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/Fragments/Photos-by-phone/i-X59J9Zj/0/LsLzGB2rvMmKtGJHkFPP7WvH79mxkjpJLTdjXcstW/M/20261102_131122-M.jpg" alt="on the Witch Hole Pond Loop" title="on the Witch Hole Pond Loop"></a> <p/><p/><a href="https://www.denisegoldberg.com/Fragments/Photos-by-phone/i-57kMpBq/A"><img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/Fragments/Photos-by-phone/i-57kMpBq/0/Mcv8c54vDN7tPvmXmk9StmTf932cZXkRgkdSPv4Rd/550x550/20261102_142717-L.jpg" alt="unnamed overlook, trees reflecting in a pond" title="unnamed overlook, trees reflecting in a pond"></a> </center>Denise Goldberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08049223586218975704noreply@blogger.com
