Welcome!

I played the fallout 4 dlc far harbor and so I've always wanted to go to Acadia and now I am its really exciting. I've been camping all through west Virginia and Alabama but is there anything specific about bar harbor or Acadia I should take into consideration.

Going on a road trip to Shenandoah March 20-24th , what are good hikes around that time ?

So pre-Covid I’d booked a Labor Day 1 overnight day camping trip to DTNP arriving on the island via the Ferry. As I recall I booked in about late Jan 2020 (though it may have been Dec 2019) for a Sept 2020 trip. Covid obviously changed those plans, but now I’m looking to reschedule it and assuming what I am seeing is correct, seats are the ferry are booked full up through April of next year, and near as I can tell, the only reason May 2024 and onward isn’t booked, is because they don’t even have that availability posted yet.

I don’t remember having near this much problem finding availability on the ferry, certainly not when I was looking more than 6 mo. in advance of when I was traveling. I recall some individual days being fully booked up, but there was still availability so I was able to find days that worked for us because we had a flexible schedule.

For those that have been recently and gone via the ferry (since we want to camp a day or two and can’t do that via seaplane) how far in advance did you have to book and what are the tips and tricks you have for me to even find availability?

EDIT: for what it’s worth, the limited availability is for only overnight camping. Day trips have wide open availability starting about 90 days out

I am going to be in Capitol reef in April and want to see cathedral valley. It looks a bit intimidating to do solo and I am not sure what rental car I will end up with.

Has anyone done a tour? Explored solo? Any tips? What was your experience like?

Planning to do a road trip from Denver to SLC for two weeks and will stop at Copper Mountain or Snowbird, or both for some skiing along the way. Other than that, any hike recommendations or fun activities that can be done?

Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
