Wonderland and Ship Harbor Nature trails, Acadia National Park, 7/1/14
We rode the shuttle to Southwest Harbor to reach Wonderland trailhead that winds for 1/2 a mile through a grove of twisted pines.
And this is what we found... A beach lined with rose bushes!
Smelling the roses...
No high cliffs here. We found cobblestone rocks and granite ledges that made it easy to walk along the shore.
The guidebook mentioned bringing binoculars to watch the wildlife. We did not have binoculars but we were not disappointed.
Another attraction: tide pools.
Found masses of small clams and and a few baby crabs hiding in the tide pools's seaweed, and just one empty crab shell.
