It’s listed as moderate with some minor rock scrambles. Gorham Mountain Trail is one of the more popular hikes in Acadia National Park. If you’re wondering just what the cruise is like, check our video below, We highly recommend this cruise to anybody with kids and even though tickets might be considered a bit pricey, Diver Ed’s show just may be your children’s number one highlight to their Bar Harbor vacation. He then returns the creatures to the salty depths so they can perhaps participate in another showing. Ed then brings them onboard and invites all the children up to view, touch and even kiss the sea animals all the while entertaining with his raucous sense of humor. There he dives with an underwater video camera uplinked to a large screen on deck so you can see the process of battling lobsters and crabs while attempting to capture them in his dive bag. His boat, the Starfish Enterprise, leaves from the beautiful campus of The College of the Atlantic right outside Bar Harbor and takes you about a half hour out to his diving spot. Yeah, there’s some potty talk involved as Diver Ed is just a big kid but Linda and I also learned a great deal as well. He and his crew educate the little ones while also entertaining them. Everyone that has gone on his educational boat ride has raved about it. I learned about Diver Ed’s program through guidebooks. You can find video highlights of our hike below: Hikers try to push it off but have been unsuccessful to date.
South Bubble has nice views of the Pemetic Mountain at 766 feet and is also where you can find Balance Rock (known as Bubble Rock) which teeters high above seemingly to threaten to roll off the mountain at any time. We then retraced our steps back down to Bubbles Divide and then on to South Bubble.
There also is a trail around Jordan Pond which you can hike down to from North Bubble but we didn’t have time on this trip. The summit of North Bubble is 872 feet above sea level and there are great views of Jordan Pond from the top. We opted to visit North Bubble first as we heard it to be the more technical and strenuous trail (the kids are into the challenge). Not far into the trail we encountered the Bubbles Divide Trail which is basically a fork which leads either to North Bubble Mountain or South Bubble Mountain. The lot fills quickly and we had to wait about 15 or 20 minutes for a spot to open up. There is a small lot off of Park Loop Road that leads to the trail head. The Bubbles Trails are a popular network of three trails in Acadia National Park. Be sure to stay tuned as we show you the campground we stayed at next. Please check out our video below highlighting our hike at The Flume. We finished the trail rather late and didn’t have time to ride the tram as they stop heading up the mountain at five so if you’re planning your day, leave plenty of time to get to the tram by four. This hike is definitely worth the admission and your time and it can be coupled with The Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway if you purchase the Discovery Pass. You can feel a cool breeze blowing downstream and the smell of the forests and flowing water is something truly difficult to describe.įrom Top ‘O Gorge we strolled on down to “The Pool” and on back to the visitor center. We went on a pretty hot day but the closer you come to the falls the cooler it gets. We opted to hike the 1.8 mile loop traversing aside Flume Brook to Avalanche Falls and Top ‘O Gorge at 515 feet. There is a also a bus that runs up to the top making this attraction accessible to most anyone. It’s a paid attraction and accessible as there are bridges, walkways and stairs that serve to turn a strenuous hike into a moderate stroll. It’s much like a canyon with walls of granite on either side that rise seventy to ninety feet above you. The Flume Gorge is a natural gorge cut by The Flume Brook located in Franconia State Park, New Hampshire.
