I'd recommend going to the Schoodic Peninsula part of Acadia in addition to the main part of the park. It's not on Mt. Desert Island - it's actually further to the east - so many people skip it when they go to the park. I think it's absolutely beautiful. (If you look in my Circles, parks, and funny birds gallery referenced below - the Schoodic Peninsula photos are in a separate gallery there.)
I have some journals about biking in and around Acadia, but they are hosted on crazyguyonabike.com, and Neil is in the process of rebuilding the disks for the site (today and tomorrow). It will be back online on the 12th, and I'll write myself a note to come back here then and post links to my journals then.
In the meantime, here are links to my photo galleries from visits to Acadia over the last 2 years:
Wandering by bike in Downeast Maine - June 2005
Circles, parks, and funny birds - June 2006
Acadia National Park (September 2006)
I'll actually be there next week. I'm heading to Maine on the 18th, and will be in Bar Harbor (and wandering around Acadia) from the 21st through the 24th. Sounds like we'll just miss each other...
