There's the macro: mountains thrust up, valleys tumble down.Then there's the micro: A hawk catches an updraft on Cadillac Mountain. A starfish clings to a rock on Little Hunters Beach.
Visit Acadia National Park by car or bus, and you might miss the big picture or the small detail. Bicycling is one of the best ways to explore Maine's only national park, located on the eastern side of Mount Desert Island. Two wheels can take you right to the edge of all the park has to offer.
Another reason to bike: during peak foliage season, usually the first or second week of October, all of Acadia is aflame with color.
