kanobette Posted April 30, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I'll be making an early season visit to Bar Harbor on May 18th. From what I can see the Island Explorer doesn't start up till June. What are my options for getting to Acadia. I don't want to do the trolley tour as there is so little time to explore the park on foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailBadtheSinner Posted April 30, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Since Island Explorer starts in June and you don't want to tour by trolley/bus, your options are limited. Hire a taxi/van, or rent bikes are the only way to tour that I can quickly think of. Would you do a tour by airplane??? Would you tour by trolley if the stops were longer????

kanobette Posted April 30, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I'd really only want to do the trolley if the weather is awful. Otherwise those four 15-20 minute stops don't really cut it to enjoy walking the park and a seeing a different landscape than I have here in Texas. Probably taxi is going to be best to be dropped off near a trail head and then arrange a pick up time to get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with using a taxi. The only suggestion I have is that the trail begins and ends close to a road that a taxi can reach. You don't want the trail to end then retrace your steps to get to the pickup point.

The advice would be the same for the beginning and end of a CR. CR map - https://www.nps.gov/acad/planyourvisit/upload/crummap.pdf SBtS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
