Acadia National Park
|
|
|
| |
Acadia National Park is characterized by granite cliffs jutting out from
the roaring tide on Mount Desert Island off the eastern coast of Maine.
The spectacular array of mountains and ocean yields a stunning display
of beauty that makes this one of America’s most sought-after national
parks. A looped access road is provided to the main attractions – Sand
Beach, composed of shells broken by time and tide; Thunder Hole, a
ravine carved out by the ocean waves that produces loud bellows when
the tidal conditions are just right; Otter Cliffs, forests, and clean
blue
lakes. But, most of the park’s 3 million tourists take to the trails,
rather
than their cars, for a more intimate look at nature.. |
