Acadia National Park, Day 4
We woke up to a rather foggy morning today with a very tiny bit of fresh snow on the ground. We drove to the Schoodic Peninsula to visit the only part of Acadia National Park on the mainland. There was quite a bit of fog but also some nice blue sky. A nice bonus was seeing a number of birds including multiple Bald Eagles! Afterwards, we headed back to Portland, Maine via the scenic route on US-1, stopping to visit a few sights along the way.

Acadia National Park, Day 3
This morning started out with some light snow with large puffy flakes. Things were looking good! We visited a few spots in Acadia National Park and did two short hikes. Unfortunately, the snow stopped pretty quickly and it started raining in the afternoon. We ended up just checking out a few more spots along the road on the way back.

Acadia National Park, Day 2
We spent our second day in Acadia National Park today, spending most of our time hiking around Jordan Pond. As the weather was good and the sun was out, we started out on the coast to see the difference compared to yesterday when it was dark and rainy. Later in the day, after finishing at Jordan Pond, we visited some other ponds and lakes in the park before calling it a day.

Acadia National Park
We headed right into Acadia National Park this morning, focusing on the area directly south of Bar Harbor. Many of the park roads are closed due to the winter season but all the coastline spots are easily visited by either driving or hiking. We ended up visiting many coastal locations from Schooner Head down to Otter Point. It was a dark, wet, and gloomy day today and the appearance of our photos reflect that!

Down East Maine
We started out the morning with a drive to the easternmost point of the United States mainland at West Quoddy Head in Lubec, Maine. We spent awhile there hiking around and enjoying the scenery before heading into Lubec to have lunch. Nothing was open so we ate some fig bars that we had around before heading back west. We had time to hit just one park on the way, Bog Brook Cove Preserve, on our way back.

Southern Maine Coast
We woke up this morning to 2-3 inches of snow on the ground. Luckily, it wasn’t too cold and the roads were well treated by the time we headed out. We started out around Portsmouth, New Hampshire and headed up to Portland, Maine, stopping at a few locations along the coast.

New Hampshire Coast
We started out this morning on the road, driving through hours of cold rain with temperatures just above freezing. Upon arriving at the Atlantic Ocean in Salisbury, MA, we started driving north to the nearby New Hampshire border. When then continued on to drive the entire New Hampshire coastline, all 20 miles or so!

Yellowstone Thermal Features
We took quite a few videos at Yellowstone National Park during our visit last month, mostly of thermal features that we found interesting in one way or another. We have finally compiled them into a simple video!

Grand Teton National Park, Day 3
Once again, we headed out early to catch the sunrise. Unfortunately it was cloudy so we didn’t get that beautiful morning glow that we saw yesterday. Afterwards, we drove around looking for wildlife before heading back to town for breakfast. We were planning on searching for wildlife later on but by that time visibility was quite limited due to an incoming storm so we headed to the airport a bit earlier than planned to end our trip.

Grand Teton National Park, Day 2
We headed out early in the morning to catch sunrise. It was spectacular! After returning to our hotel for breakfast and some rest, we headed out again to see some beautiful mountain scenery and to look for wildlife. It was a good day!
