Acadia
National Park was the first National Park east of the Mississippi River. The
tallest mountain on the U.S. Atlantic coast is located here. The park is
open all year but many of the facilities are closed in the winter.
You can enjoy this park on bike, foot or horse-drawn carriage tour. It
has 125 miles of historic hiking trails through forests and up mountains.
You could also take a ranger-narrated boat cruise to learn about sea life.
The summer temperatures average in the 70's so it is important to dress
in layers. The Maine coast is ranked second in the U.S. for annual
precipitation and fog is common in the summer.
