Exploring The Beauty Of Acadia National Park
The United States is home to many beautiful national parks worth exploring. One of these is Maine's Acadia National Park, the first national park to have been established east of the Mississippi River. Rugged coastline, granite peaks, historic hiking trails, myriad plant and animal species and Cadillac Mountain, the tallest mountain on the United States' North Atlantic Coast at 1,532 feet, all help to bring two million visitors to the park each year.Along with Cadillac Mountain, there are many worthwhile sights to check out at Acadia. First there is the scenic 45-mile carriage road system, which can be explored via a bike or horse-drawn carriage tour. Additionally, the historic Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse, built in 1858 out of brick, stands tall and proud 56 feet above the water. Jordan Pond, Hunter's Beach, Sand beach, Otter Cliff and Mill Cove are just some of the other must-see features of the park.
