![Guide to Acadia National Park: Maine's Coastal Jewel [Documentary] [4K]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/6CMqp7mD3sg/mqdefault.jpg)
Nicely done!! We have a trip to Maine in our future, for SURE. Love all the great information you guys provide. I will archive this one for future reference. Thanks for sharing.🤗
Plan on summer. There are very few RV parks open year round. And plan early, they fill up fast!! Thank you for watching and commenting!
hope u love it here! portland is a must and taking a bike around the west side trails at yarmouth which i live under half a mile away from is too
So we were in Maine about 3 years ago, for about a week. We missed all of this! we hope to go back this coming summer. You've given us a lot of amazing places to put on our list. Thanks so much! Lynn and Danny
Glad we could make you want to go back to Vacationland! It’s such a wonderful state.
Great video of Maine tips...especially about the small towns
Thank you! The big things are easy to find, it’s those small places and off the beaten path sights that are a little more challenging. Are you from the area or planning a trip?
We go from TEXAS to Maine every two years. We keep finding new adventures each time.
That's very cool. Do you go to different spots in Maine each time or the same spot and just find new places to visit? -Chris & Suzannah
Arcadia National Park is definitely on our must see list! The seashore trolley museum looks really cool to visit! We can't wait to get to Maine! Thanks for sharing! ~ Shion and Matthew
Happy you enjoyed it and that we added something to your list!! -Chris & Suzannah
great photos and i love the intro. thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks guys. Hope you’re doing well.
Loved the audio track accompanying the Fort Knox piece! It really created the MOOD!
Thanks. It is one of those lucky finds with the music. Glad you enjoyed it!!
Can’t wait to go to Maine! Wonderful info, thanks!
Thank you! Hope it helped you pick a few things to visit. Maine is beautiful and has a lot to offer. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! -Chris & Suzannah
ull love it here
Can’t wait to visit Maine! Great list. Hobbiton is right up my alley too. Thank you!
Thank you for watching and commenting. Glad you enjoyed it!!
its amazing here! it gets a lil too hot around june,july, and august but u can just stay inside!
Great video! I'll definitely want to go to the Maine Wildlife Park
Thank you! We’ve been back and it’s a great place. Lots of shade too!
I’m on my 18 hrs drive to Maine rn and the campsite is SOO close to Acadia park and other areas so this video helped us a lot.
I am right on the ocean too
Seriously!? We’re so happy you got such a beautiful spot!! Enjoy Maine and explore as much as you can.
And make sure you get lobster rolls. Lots and lots of lobster rolls. They’re Chris’ favorite.
That’s fantastic. So glad we helped you plan a bit.
Thanks for Sharing
❤️&✌️
👍
Nice 10 top list. I have not made it to Maine yet, but my list of things to do and see just increased by 9. Thank you for sharing. Peace and Safe Travel.
That’s great. We’ve got some great footage coming up in the next few weeks that you may enjoy as a photographer.
Out of curiosity, was the 10th item that you don’t want to do the drive-in?
@@HintonTheTrail Acadia National Park was already on my list.
Ahhh, ok. You won’t regret it. Just give yourself a few days to make sure you catch a sunrise at Cadillac Mountain.
Ravens Nest and Schoodic Point in Winter Harbor is an amazing sightseeing place, its breathtaking
We just looked. It’s about 90 miles from home. Looks like a great place visit next time we’re home. Thank your for the recommendation!! -Chris & Suzannah
Thank you for this video! I just wanted a nice description with some great scenery and the first two videos I found were just narcissistic people who couldn't get themselves out of the frame! You guys were great and gave super good info. Thank you!!
Thank you! We truly appreciate the feedback and are grateful that you took the time to watch and comment.
Baxter park is a must for nature lovers as is Katadin Iron works
Thank you for the recommendation!!
I am from York and love the Owls Head Museum.
It is such a cool museum!
Acadia and Belfast were our favorites. We’ll be going back for sure!
Where did you stay at Acadia? We didn’t have our RV so stayed two nights in a hotel. We want to take our RV next time.
We stayed at the Bar Harbor KOA oceanfront. We will be releasing a video about it in the next few weeks!
Awesome. Looking forward to it!
We’d love to get to Maine someday! It’s a long drive from California though... Great informative video!
~ Greg and Jamie
Yes, that is quite a drive! We’re heading there from Zion in a few weeks and already dreading the long driving days. The key is breaking up the long days with a few longer stops (3-4 days) in cool places. If you make it to Maine you won’t regret it!!
-Chris & Suzannah
take a plane duhhh its so worth it its amazing here
Maine is such a beautiful state in its own way. I plan to visit sometime soon for my 30th bday hopefully 😊
It’s a great place to celebrate a birthday, so much natural beauty to explore. Have fun!!
Good information on things to see and do In Maine. As for museums I would add the Cole Land Transportation Museum in Bangor to that list. It houses items of all sorts of transportation with a history of Maine as the overall theme. There is a minimal entry fee that is well worth it.
Great additions. This was filmed during Covid so many locations were available.
In about 3 or 4 years, we're planning to make a cross country trip from Washington State to Maine and live there after we retire. Thank you for making such a good video. The ending was really fun.
That sounds like a great adventure. Chris is originally from Washington and Suzannah is from Maine…and now we live in Maine. It’s a beautiful state for sure. Thank you for the kind words!
Can't forget the amount of disc golf courses in Central Maine now, there's a new course within an hour every year. A great, affordable, healthy activity to take the entire family to do and enjoy the maine woods.
Great info! Thank you for sharing. We may have to check one out sometime.
I'm hoping on going to Maine this year, my family and I haven't traveled for so long with Covid, so since we are fully vaccinated we decided on traveling to Maine this August
That’s really great to hear. So many people have been stuck and unable to travel. Maine is a wonderful place to get back in to travel. It’s beautiful, has amazing sites, and the food up there is delicious!
I live in Maine although not from Maine. Maine has a lot of historical places and you guys touched on just a couple. I too like History Chris. Did you know the first naval battle of the Revolutionary War was in Maine? I've seen several people do videos on coming to Maine and so far you guys have done the best job. I've lived here 35 years now and find all kinds of cool places to go and do. So for people who want to check out the places Chris and Suzanna recommend there are several other places near by each of the locations they mentioned. Great job guys.
Thank you for the kind words. I did know about the naval battle (my Father-in-law told me 😂). Maine had a TON of history and so much to explore. This video was done awhile back when Covid was really happening so many things weren’t available. Now that we’re back living in Maine we may start doing a series of episodes about locations but that will have to wait until I get back from the Appalachian Trail.
Thank you again!!
Maine is a haul for us to get to but Acadia is on the bucket list to get to one day. Loving those forts in that area and can only imagine how much history there is to explore. Living up to the rumors of “best fall colors”. Mailed/maled wildlife?!?
We all get a little tongue tied sometimes. 😂😂😂. We’ve got some videos coming out in a few weeks that have some amazing fall colors. I (Chris) didn’t know what leaf peeping truly was until this year.
Are you guys still in UT?
@@HintonTheTrail We're back in Texas now but i'm (David) already missing those Utah moments....and I have no clue what "leaf peeping" even means!
@@ConsidertheWonders ha ha. Leaf peeping is about traveling around when the foliage changes colors and looking at it. Sounds lame but it's actually pretty cool in New England.
we definitely have the best fall
They you used my owls head recommendation. You should’ve gone to Boothbay there are a couple of museums that were pretty cool also
Yes we did!! That is a great museum and they have some fun CZcams videos as well. Very funny series on the Model T. You should check it out.
Nice video, very informative. When is the best time to visit Maine to see the greenery and hiking trails?
Spring is great but late summer is too. If you want to see the fall foliage (which is amazing in New England) than the last week of September.
May through September. July is just fine to visit. 90° days sometimes never hurt anyone.
So you like history? Check out the Cribstone Bridge between Bailey and Orr's Island - a cool piece of engineering using only granite blocks
I (Chris) was just out there here last month doing some real estate photography. Was up the road on Gun Point and wish I’d known about this bridge! Next time we’re over there we’ll go check it out. Thank you!
You should also check out the Desert of Maine near Freeport, Ghost Trains in the Allagash, and the Solar System model along Route 1 in Aroostook County.
Thank you for the recommendations. So many great things to do in Maine!!
@@HintonTheTrail you are welcome! There are! I am from Maine and we find something different to do every summer.
😂😂😂😂 you're going to suggest people waste their time with that trash! Drive all the way up to Houlton and then past Presque Isle to see a few spheres every 20 miles along endless potato fields and tiny rundown towns. That's cruel.
SABAGO LAKE means Great Stretch of WATER ( GRANITE FILLED BASINS ). Painted setting of NATIVE MAINE. Land of MIC-MAC TRIBE. Not to miss out WATER FALLS & Hiking Trails & more. NORTHEAST MOTEL & other places waiting for your VISIT TO KITTERY MAINE.
RAFI MAINE USA
Thank you for the info!!
I am from northern Maine you should come up to the alagash wilderness water ways
We've heard it's beautiful up there too. We may need to add it to our list for the next time we're back home. Thank you!
Have you been to Baxter State Park? It is free to Maine residents.
We haven’t been there. Suzannah may have gone when she was younger. Gotta love free!! Maybe will head that way the next time we’re back home. Thank you for the tip!! -Chris & Suzannah
Ohh! And the Appalachian trail runs to the top of Mount Katadin
Nice. Chris will be doing the AT in 2023 and is really looking forward to all of the mountain views.
Have you visited Vacationland? Where did you visit in Maine and what do you recommend? There are so many memorable places and activities, it's hard to hit them all. We'd love to hear your recommendations for our next trip to Maine!
I live in Maine and one of my favorite places is called Emerald Pool. It’s technically in NH, but it’s so pretty and a really nice hike to get there.
@@lunarasmr8592 thank you for the recommendation!
Maine-ah here and I would recommend a visit to Lubec. The easternmost point in the US. Home of West Quoddy Head candy striped lighthouse and State Park. Beautiful trails can be found throughout Lubec, including newly opened Cobscook Shores. AND when the border restrictions open cross the international bridge to Campobello Island, New Brunswick, which is home to Franklin Delano Roosevelt's summer cottage and estate. 🦞🐳❤️
@@saramcconnell7380 Really great tips!! We won't be back in Maine again until August but this gives us even more things to explore!! Thank you for sharing. -Chris & Suzannah
My advice to anyone visiting Maine is get away from the coast. Also, go to Maine in the winter and explore by snowmobile.
This is great. I visited Maine many years ago and have wanted to go back ever since. The only trolly I rode on was the one in San Francisco. I would love the museums especially the Owl's Head Transportation museum Call it what you want but it is a zoo. I will not support that. If they are orphaned they need to left alone! Circle of life unless it is endangered. I'll see moose in the wild. Seven drive Inn's thats so cool I wonder if that is the most of any state. We have one near us. We are in Portland, OR.
Thank you! There are so many great places in Maine and always something new to explore.
Tumble down mountain is the nicest place in Maine.
Haven’t heard of that one. Where is it?
@@HintonTheTrail it’s been a while but I’ll look it up for you😄
Edit: it’s in Franklin county MAINE
Awesome. Thank you!
Not to mention all the festivals that are now back 2022
So true. We filmed all of this in 2020 when many things weren’t available. There are so many great things to do in Maine.
As a local, I have a hard time seeing what visitors see. I've been out of state in high desert terrain for the last 7 months. I definitely see what visitors see, now.
I just don't appreciate little museums, cemeteries, a cavern that doesn't really sound lime thunder, mud. And I was born sickly so I have never been any good at hiking or bicycling although I'd love to be.
If in Maine try to find things to do; go fishing, swimming, dig for clams, walk or hike beginner to experienced trails. Don't waste your time on the gimmicks like museums or Narrows bridge tower. They're money traps that don't have anything to offer in a state that has nothing going for it except its terrain and wildlife. Oh, and we have excellent local food & restaurants.
There is so much more to Maine that we could get in to a video and the outdoor opportunities are endless. Part of the experience beyond the outdoors is those areas that share the history of Maine, like it's rich Maritime history, or unique locations that give you a different perspective. The bottom line is that we truly believe that there is something in Maine for anyone. Outdoors, museums, and yes, definitely great food!
You forgot hight of the land just outside of Rangely
There’s always more to explore for sure. We’ll be doing more Maine videos later this year so maybe we’ll get that. Thank you!
I'm going to Maine this summer and I'm looking to go GOLD DIGGING in a certain river..........
Not gonna give the name of the river out are you?? Ha ha
@@HintonTheTrail ummmm not gonna give out free money, either lololol
@@djack915 smart man!
LOL I was up at that river this summer during the drought, no gold to be found at that time, lots of rocks though. Used to go there with my ex wife.
Yeah too much.
Thanks for watching
Hobbit LAND.... not Hobbiton.... We try to keep it a secret because it's nice to get away from tourists.
😂😂
You keep it a secret because HallDale are tiny towns and you already have enough traffic coming into town because Main St is the only place in the Augusta region that isn't a dump and has a thriving economy. It's hardly worth protecting. It's a bait and switch.
Nah, stay home. Traffics bad enough
Sounds like someone doesn't want to share the State with others. ha ha.
@@HintonTheTrailI stopped working outta Cundys Harbor and work 8 miles away so I can't really complain now 😅
it's not pronounced Mount Desert, it's pronounced Mount Dessert regardless of the spelling
😂😂
You're so wrong. My family lives in Trenton for 30 years.
