Nothing to see here… unless nature is enough for you
If you were planning to come to Mount Desert Island while the Coronavirus was still a national crisis a year ago, what would you expect?
Don’t expect things to be as they were the last time you were here. This time, your vacation on the Island will be very different…
…but much more peaceful, refreshing and pleasant. It was so, as long as the Coronavirus emergency was with us… and as long as you prefered a hike through forests, over hills and along coastlines, instead of window shopping, dining out and large crowds.
Below is a virtual reprint of the guide of trails, published by Witham Family Hotels.
Request your copy in person at the Front Desk of the Bar Harbor Inn!
These booklets are usually available at the Bar Harbor Inn to anyone who requests one at the Front Desk. However, they run out of copies from time to time.
I wanted to make this guide available to you through these pages, whenever the print copies are out of stock.
In my opinion, the Witham Family Hotels are the very best places to stay in the Bar Harbor Region! Please give them first consideration when planning your trip to Bar Harbor.
The original brochure produced by Witham Family Hotels is compiled of many different hikes and walks. Each one highlights the beauty of Acadia and are broken down by level of difficulty and distance.
Here on the Island, setting up your reservation over the phone can be as basic as calling the owner’s home, or getting through to the front desk. In addition, some of the bigger hotels on the island have a reservations call center. Some may also have an agreement with a hotel reservation systems company to answer the phone when the local call center people go home.
Of these three choices, I recommend that customers check out what a hotel has to offer through the hotel’s website whenever possible… and book their reservation by calling the local number during business hours. Here in Bar Harbor, these phone numbers will have the area code (207). And the first three numbers of the phone number will usually begin with “288”, as in (207) 288-3351.
