Tourist 8/5- Bass Harbor Lighthouse, Maine

Bass Harbor Lighthouse, Maine

This lighthouse is part of Acadia National Park.  It stands 56 feet above high water.  You arrive in the parking area and take a walking path towards the ocean.  There's a stairway that takes you down to a cliffside of rocks.  There were lots of people here, but by climbing out and maneuvering onto the rocks, it was possible to get some beautiful photos of this iconic lighthouse.  The lighthouse itself is fenced off and only the grounds around the lighthouse were open to the public.
It was built in 1858, and the fog bell and tower were added in 1876.
