Description

Acadia National Park in July was a whirlwind of foggy mornings, lobster feasts, and sweaty summit hikes!

In this episode, we cover: The absolute chaos of the Jordan Pond parking lot (and how to avoid it) Why fog and humidity made this one of our trickiest trips yet Where to find the best lobster rolls outside of Bar Harbor Mountain summits, hidden gems, and Acadia adventures beyond the crowds Your task for today: We hope we've convinced you that Acadia is still worth the trip, even with its challenges!
