The Way Home

The story

The last stretch of the tour, on the Park Loop Road back toward Hulls Cove. The visitor center is under ten minutes away, and the signs lead on to Bar Harbor. A park pass is good for seven days, so there is time to come back for the carriage roads and the Ocean Path.

Whether you've come down from the top or stayed on the low road, this is the way home. Stay on this road and you'll be back at Hulls Cove in under ten minutes, and the signs will take you on to Bar Harbor. That's the tour. If you enjoyed it, please leave a review. It's how other people find us. From Ranger Boone and from me, thank you for riding with us.
