Here are a few ideas for activities in this part of the country, and how I was able to save a lot of money over the St-Jean-Baptiste holiday weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maine – For Nature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Acadia National Park<\/strong> is a great place to get some fresh air. In Autumn, the scenery is breathtaking with the vivid colors of the landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Numerous hikes are available for all levels. The highest mountain in the region is Mount Cadillac<\/strong>, at 466 metres. You can also visit Acadia Park with an electric bike<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From October 7 to March 6, this mountain is the first place to watch the sun rise in the USA. The mountain offers a magnificent panoramic view, attracting many curious onlookers. You could book this private excursion to Cadillac Mountain<\/a> to admire this exceptional spectacle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trails lead to the summit, which can be reached by paved road. If you wish to make the ascent by car, you will need to book a paid reservation on the National Park Service<\/a> website to select a time slot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there is no time limit once at the summit. In my opinion, Cadillac Mountain is a must-see activity on your visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adventurers will love the trails with ladders and iron bars on the mountainside, such as Precipice trail or Jordan cliffs, for ages 12 and up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same style, but accessible to all, Beehive trail offers superb views and ladder fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For less strenuous effort, the coastal trails will fill you with wonder. These include the popular Ocean path<\/strong>, which starts at Sandy Beach<\/strong>, passes through the thunder hole and ends at Otter cliff, where you can watch climbers scale the cliffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a short break, we stop off around Jordan pond and its restaurant. The park stretches over more than a peninsula, and you can easily spend several days there. For those in a hurry, there’s a looping auto tour that takes in all the most popular attractions. A seven-day pass must be purchased at the park entrance to use this road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Guide:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To round off your days, I suggest you head to the beautiful village of Bar Harbor<\/strong>. Here you’ll find a lively downtown area, good restaurants and pubs, as well as stores to browse around and pick up a souvenir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
