(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 14, 2011 ) BAR HARBOR, Maine -- During the holiday season, savvy travelers know finding the right vacation destination is not just about snagging good deals, it’s about beating the crowds too. That’s why more and more people are finding themselves moving north for the winter – to Bar Harbor, Maine. And those travelers are enjoying more than just solitude. Acadia National Park, which surrounds the town, becomes a winter wonderland late in the year. Most of the summer roads are closed, providing miles of trails to snowshoers, cross-country skiers, and snowmobilers. Many local hotels and cabins allow dog lovers to bring their pets, and it’s not uncommon to see dogs pulling a sled or even a person on skis, a Nordic tradition called “skijoring.” In town, travelers have a rare chance to savor the area’s famous seafood without reservations. Many of Bar Harbor’s best inns and restaurants stay open year-round, and some offer discounted rates to winter travelers.
