本文作者分享了她首次参观缅因州阿卡迪亚国家公园的经历。尽管作者并非户外爱好者,但这次为期三天的旅程却让她对自然风光有了新的认识。文章详细描述了旅行中的一些“新手”失误,包括未准备适合多变天气的衣物、未选择合适的徒步鞋,以及未提前预订热门景点和餐厅。作者强调了在阿卡迪亚公园游玩时,打包多层衣物、穿着抓地力强的徒步鞋、提前预订车辆和餐饮,以及探索人迹罕至的步道的重要性。同时,作者也表达了希望下次能在此停留更长时间的愿望,并计划将阿卡迪亚之行变成年度旅行。

🧥 **合理穿着与装备:** 作者建议为应对阿卡迪亚公园多变且可能闷热的天气,游客应打包多层衣物,以便根据气温变化随时调整。同时,选择一双抓地力好的徒步鞋至关重要,以防在湿滑或泥泞的地面上发生意外,提升徒步体验的安全性与舒适度。

📅 **提前预订的重要性:** 文章指出,许多热门景点(如卡迪拉克山日出)和餐厅都需要提前预订。作者错过了卡迪拉克山的日出,并因未提前预订而不得不长时间等待约旦池屋的下午茶。因此,提前规划并预订是确保行程顺畅的关键。

🏞️ **平衡热门与小众景点:** 尽管热门景点如卡迪拉克山和约旦池风光优美,但游客众多,停车和体验都可能受到影响。作者推荐尝试像戈勒姆山径这样相对人少的小众步道,更能沉浸式地享受宁静的自然风光,避免拥挤。

⏳ **预留充足的游玩时间:** 作者在游览后感到意犹未尽,认为三天的行程不足以充分领略阿卡迪亚的美景。她表示下次会安排更长的旅行时间,探索更多未知的区域,如斯科迪克半岛和巴斯港头灯塔,以获得更全面的体验。

When my boyfriend and I started planning a trip to Maine, we knew we had to visit Acadia National Park.

I'm many things, but I've never been a hiker.

A beach day spent in the sun with a good book and a quick dip in the ocean? Sounds perfect. A walk through the woods? Not really my speed.

So, when my boyfriend and I started planning a summer getaway to Bar Harbor, Maine, I was skeptical about visiting Acadia National Park. Still, Acadia is one of the town's main attractions, so we knew we had to check it out.

To my surprise, the three-day trip changed my perspective on the outdoors. I didn't become a hiking aficionado overnight, but the scenery was beautiful.

We enjoyed checking all of the touristy must-dos off our itinerary, from a beginner-level hike around Jordan Pond to a more challenging trek up the Gorham Mountain trail.

Although we had a great time, we definitely made some mistakes as total national-park newbies — and next time we visit Acadia, we'll do a lot of things differently.

I wish we'd packed better for the weather and terrain.
Layers would have helped us feel comfortable as the days turned from cool to muggy.

When we visited in June, I packed lots of shorts, tank tops, and my brand-new Hokas.

However, I quickly realized that layers would have been much more ideal for the changing and sometimes unpredictable weather in northern Maine.

The days started off cool but then turned muggy, especially when working up a sweat hiking.

My sneakers weren't optimal, either. After a few slips and near-falls on the park's muddy grounds and wet rocks, my boyfriend and I both agreed that we should've stopped at the store downtown for a pair of real hiking shoes with better grip.

We should have made reservations for restaurants and certain landmarks.
We loved watching the sunset at Cadillac Park, but I wish we'd made reservations to catch the sunrise.

We arrived at Acadia National Park with a set itinerary, but we didn't realize how many restaurants — and even activities — required reservations.

One of these activities was watching the sunrise at Cadillac Mountain, the highest point on the eastern seaboard. While eating dinner at a restaurant, our server explained that we'd need a vehicle reservation in order to drive to the mountain.

A quick Google search taught us that, unfortunately, there were no available slots to watch the sunrise during our three-day trip.

Luckily, we were able to book a time to see the sunset — but catching the sunrise at Cadillac Mountain will be a top priority on our next trip.

We hadn't made a reservation to visit the historic Jordan Pond House, either. When we stopped by after a 3-mile hike, we were told we'd have to wait over an hour to be seated.

As much as we wanted to enjoy its iconic popovers and tea with a view of the pond and mountains, we just couldn't wait to eat.

Next time, we'll hike some of the less-crowded trails.
We loved our quieter hike on the less-crowded Gorham Trail.

As first-time visitors, we hit many of Acadia's famous, tourist-loved spots: Cadillac Mountain, Jordan Pond, Thunder Hole, Sand Beach, and Bar Island.

Although the views were stunning and well worth the hype, these places were all quite crowded, which made it tough to find parking.

When visiting the quieter Gorham Trail, however, we were able to soak in the nature around us. We only saw a few other hikers as we trekked to the summit.

Now that we've seen all the big names in Acadia, we decided that next time, we'll try to find more secluded spots for picnics and more advanced hikes with fewer travelers.

We should have gone for more than three days.
I was skeptical about visiting Acadia, but I left wishing I'd stayed even longer.

Our biggest regret is not spending more time exploring the park and all of its beauty.

We saw and did a lot in three days, but there's still more we'd like to explore next time, like Schoodic Peninsula and Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse.

Our national-park trip may have been spontaneous and out of my comfort zone, but it surprised me.

Despite our mishaps, regrets, and bona-fide tourist moments, my boyfriend and I have started talking about making it an annual trip — and luckily, we now know a lot about how to make our next visit smoother.
