A winding dirt path curves through a dense deciduous forest during peak autumn in Acadia National Park, with a brilliant canopy of golden-yellow leaves creating a natural tunnel overhead. The forest floor is carpeted with fallen autumn leaves in amber and rust tones, scattered among moss-covered granite boulders and exposed bedrock typical of Maine's landscape. Slender birch and maple trunks create vertical lines throughout the scene, while soft, diffused lighting filters through the luminous foliage, casting a warm glow over this intimate woodland trail that disappears deeper into the forest, capturing the serene beauty of New England's fall foliage season.

I captured this image while descending the Bubbles Divide Trail after photographing sunrise from the Bubbles summit. The trail winds through a stunning birch and maple forest where the October light filtered beautifully through the peak autumn foliage, creating this golden canopy overhead. The path meanders between Acadia’s characteristic moss-covered granite boulders, with the forest floor carpeted in freshly fallen leaves. After the expansive views from the summit, I found this intimate woodland scene equally compelling - there’s something special about these quiet moments walking through the heart of the forest on the way back to Jordan Pond. The soft morning light transformed an ordinary section of trail into something magical, showcasing a different but equally beautiful side of Acadia’s autumn landscape.
