The maps below show some especially scenic spots that reward

missed. Be sure to get off your bike and walk on Sand Beach
and the trail above. Get off and see the waves crash into
Thunder Hole,
especially if the surf is up. Walk out onto the rocks at the
Otter Cliff View
to see a great view of highest point on the northeast coast. Finally walk
out onto Otter Cliff
and admire the fantastic view.
Get back
on your bike and ride over to the
Jordan Pond House
and admire the great view of Jordan Pond and the Bubbles. Next take a ride up Cadillac Mountain

After
lunch, stop and check out the views at Eagle Lake,
the Selectmen's Building
in Somesville,
Long Pond,
Manset Pier,
the Bass Harbor Light,
and the
Bass Harbor View.
In Bar
Harbor, park at the big lot at the northern terminus of Main Street.
If full, try the street or one of the other 2 parking areas on the
map. I've enjoyed eating at Galyn's near the parking area, but here
are some
other reviews.
Be sure to walk and explore the areas on the map and to browse the
shops on Main Street (good chocolate and ice cream.)
