America's Great Outdoors
People have been drawn to the rugged coast of Maine throughout history. Awed by its beauty and diversity, early 20th-century visionaries donated the land that became Acadia National Park. The park is home to many plants and animals, and the tallest mountain on the U.S. Atlantic coast. Today visitors come to Acadia to hike granite peaks, bike historic carriage roads, or relax and enjoy the scenery.Photo: Xavier Cohen, National Park Service

    Acadia National Park is one of my favorite places in the world. In other news, I’m told that’s where I was conceived.
