This tour is ideal for art enthusiasts, nature lovers, and those interested in the history of American landscape painting or with a keen appreciation for art.

Gain a deeper understanding of the painters, their creative process, and the significance of Mount Desert's sculpted landscapes in their oeuvre.
Follow the art-centric trail through Acadia National Park. It has inspired masterpieces and now connects you with nature and the expansive landscapes that captivated Frederic Edwin Church -- a canvas for his grand artistic visions.

Bubble Rock is a vantage point that offers panoramic views.
Look up towards Cadillac Mountain's summit, where Thomas Moran found inspiration in the luminous vistas and diverse topography, from granite peaks to forested valleys.
