The Precipice Trail, Acadia’s most challenging (and rewarding) hike.
Credit: James KaiserIn 2000, fresh out of Dartmouth College, James Kaiser self-published Acadia: The Complete Guide. He had no writing or publishing experience — just an intense love of Acadia National Park, and a strong belief that none of the other guidebooks did it justice. Born and raised in Maine, James knew the area well, having spent his childhood summers hiking and biking in Acadia and college summers working in nearby Bar Harbor. He knew the park, knew the towns, knew the locals (knew the secrets!) and was determined to write a guidebook worthy of such a spectacular place.
Today, James’ job as a travel writer/photographer takes him far from home, but he always return to Acadia. He says it’s his favorite place in the world, and 2016 is a special year for the park. On July 8, Acadia turns 100 years-old, marking a century of protection, preservation and stewardship. To help celebrate the centennial, James has published a brand-new edition of Acadia: The Complete Guide, and 5% of the profits will be donated to the Friends of Acadia, the nonprofit partner of the park.
Please enjoy this colorful and vibrant collection of photos of Acadia National Park from James Kaiser.

I grew up in Maine and camped at Acadia until I moved to Florida in’97. I really love looking at these beautiful pictures–my roots run deep!
You know the old saying….God lives in Colorado but he parks his car in Bar Harbor. Acadia is definitely one of my favorite places too!
I vacationed on Little Cranberry Island in the 50’s and 60’s, and had relatives in Bar Harbor. These pictures bring back so many fond memories. How I miss those wonderful days.
