Acadia National Park
We spent the whole day driving around Acadia. It is as beautiful… no more so, than we expected. This is a spot called Eagle Lake:
In Bar Harbor
We’re on the third floor of a quite new Hampton Inn with a balcony overlooking the harbor. Pretty nice view!
Maine Trip
After the five-hour flight to Boston and overnight in Saugus, here’s the itinerary for our Maine/Acadia National Park trip.
Crater Lake
It’s been just two years since our last visit to Crater Lake. It’s as majestic as ever, of course.
Tillamook
It was only 10:30 in the morning but I just couldn’t stop at the Tillamook Chees Factory and not get some ice cream.
Canon Beach
We left Seaside this morning and stopped at Ecola State Park, just north of Cannon Beach. It was a typical hazy Oregon coast morning and I got hits nice view of the rocks from Chapman Point.
Over Seattle
We had hoped to do a seaplane fly-over around Mt. Rainier but about 20 minutes after take-off it we got word the mountain was clouded over. So we spent about an hour ove Seattle and east over Mt. Si and North Bend.
Last Morning in Big Sur
We were up early to begin our 500-mile trek from Big Sur to Medford. The view from our balcony was stereotypically beautiful: peacefully quiet with coastal fog from the ocean spreading among the fir trees and deer grazing in the meadow below.
Elephant Seals
Our drive south ended at Piedras Blancas, near San Simeon and included a long stop to watch the elephant seals.
Big Sur Coast–McWay Falls
One of the recommended stops along this section of the California coast is McWay Falls in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park. It is a spectacular setting.
The breathtaking vistas on our sixty-mile drive between The Ventana Inn and San Simeon were non-stop:
