Acadia National Park is the oldest national park in east of Mississippi River and is nearly 50,000 acres of pristine wilderness situated on the rugged coast of Maine. It's a prime location for witnessing the dramatic leaf change that marks the highlight of the fall season. Ten members of the Sony Alpha Imaging Collective will touch down near Bar Harbor and set out to explore the diverse landscape that covers Mount Desert Island. Sailing, hiking, and biking through up mountains, along the coastal cliffs, and down the carriage roads of yesteryear, these photographers will embark on the ultimate autumnal imaging trek. In addition to the famous Bass Harbor Lighthouse and Acadia's signature summit, Cadillac Mountain, the Collective members will also be searching for the routes less-traveled to capture this historic national park. 

Follow their adventure on Instagram at #aicdoesacadia as they post images and stories from their remarkable journey.
