 D contemplating the world by richiecdisc
Wide angle to catch the WHOLE coast and polarizer to bring out the clouds.
Bring lots of time so you can enjoy the great beaches. They are great places to reflect on what a great planet we live on. Leave a Comment

 Hiking boots not included. by chodearm
Forever my feet were covered by skateshoe sneakers, through all the hikes I have endured. I finally got hiking boots for this trip, let's just say I'm glad I did. The cliffs and trails are either rocky or slippery and some great grip could really be to your benefit. Slipping off a cliff into chilly waters and dying isn't my kind of summer vacation.
I bring more than you will ever need. Bring some filters for the lighting changes by the minute.
You better bring a tent! Leave a Comment

 September morning, Bar Harbor,
ME by goodfish
Layers! Bring layers! Short and long-sleeved shirts, fleece vests, sweatshirt or long-sleeve fleece, water-repellent jacket, good hiking boots (a must), warm socks, a pair of gloves and a hat, long pants/jeans. You'll only need shorts and tank-tops in the summer but I'd pack plenty of warmer layers for chilly, rainy days. The wind off the ocean can be nippy. We tuck in a pair of slippers for our hotel so dirty boots can stay on a paper by the door. Sunglasses. Swimsuit/coverup for hotel pools. Leave the heels and very dressy clothes at home - at the very most, a nice pair of slacks and shirt/blouse should be fine for better restaurants in Bar Harbor (but check websites for requirements).
The usual. Sunscreen, for sure, as even the fall sunshine is intense on top of the mountains and on the water. Bug repellent in summer. Hikers should take a first-aid kit. If allergic to shellfish or bees, be SURE to bring your meds (not many bees, though).
Whatever you use - just be sure to take it.
See above but add a rainsuit and extra socks. Anything you can do to stay dry during a wet stretch is a good thing. Something to string clothes on to dry once they ARE wet. Refillable water bottle, flashlight, compass, and an ace bandage in case of a sprain.
Binoculars are a nice-to-have Leave a Comment
