James:

We were at Bar Harbor yesterday. We were delayed disembarking by US customs. Picked up rental car at 11:00 and had to have it back to the airport by 4:30, so we just had time to drive the loop road and to the top of Cadillac Mountain. By the time we got to the Bass Harbor Lighthouse, we were cutting it too close to make it down to the vantage point in your photos. I should have gone there first.

As for the rest of the park, the scenery was fantastic and there was still some color left. I'm sure that we will be making a return trip at some time. Really enjoyed it.
