Hiking Around Bar Harbor

By: Melanie Brooks

Yesterday was gorgeous, so Sidekick Shane and I decided to head to Acadia National Park to spend the day in the wilderness before the tourists landed on the island for Memorial Day weekend. First stop: the Schooner Head Overlook. When the tide is out you can hike down into a cave and see some of the best tide pools in the area.
