6-25-09, Bar Island
Hiking with Nicole instead of spending the evening in the lab!
Bar Island - walk there from the foot of Bridge Street in downtown Bar Harbor. At low tide, the island is accessible by foot or by an all terrain type vehicle across a natural gravel land bridge. Visiting there provides a spectacular view of Mount Desert Island with Bar Harbor in the foreground as shown in some of the pictures.
