Our last day in Acadia, for this time. The weather could not have been any better. We couldn't leave without another trip around the loop road so we could stop at some of the places we missed on our first day here.
These next 5 pictures were taken from the overlook by Schooner Head.
These next three pictures show a house on the tip of Schooner Head.

These next seven photos are from our second visit to Thunder Hole. As you can see, the walkway is open all the way to the bottom since the water was much calmer today. Quite a difference from the first day we were here.
Air gets trapped in a chamber under the rock which just made gurgling sounds today.
These next four we took from the end of the walkway.
Our next stop was Otter Point, where we took the next 4.
After some relaxing on the rocks at Otter Point, we took a short hike to Otter Cliff, seen in this next photo. To give some size perspective, there are people walking about half way up the cliff, but it's difficult to see them.
Our last stop before heading home was Cadillac Mountain, a dome of granite with plant life clinging to cracks and crevices. Standing at 1530 feet, it's the highest point in the park. It is also the tallest mountain on the Atlantic coast, north of Brazil. The remaining pictures in this post were taken from there.
Here you can see three cruise ships docked just off the shore at Bar Harbor.
People can walk from Bar Harbor to Bar Island on this sand bar at low tide. Something to do the next time we visit.
