Hiking Guide View Photos
Hiking the bar to Bar Island during low tide.  |
| All of the land in the foreground is underwater during high tide. |
| Once on Bar Island, we are greeted by an NPS sign and the Bar Island Trail heads up into the woods. |
| Hiking on the trail (an old dirt road) through the pleasant wooded island. |
| Wild lupine flowers turn an open meadow into a beautiful sea of purple. |
| Rare pink in a sea of purple! |
| At the end of the trail is a pleasant little viewpoint looking back at Bar Harbor. (The peaks in the background from left to right are Champlain Mountain, Huguenot Head, Dorr Mountain, and Cadillac Mountain.) |
| This little hike can get very busy with many hikers and even cars making their way to the island. |
