Acadia National Park

So I forgot to finish our posts on Maine. The final one has to do with Acadia National Park. Firstly, it was cold up on Cadillac Mountain!! At 1500 feet above sea level, this mountain is the highest point on the Eastern seaboard in America and for most of the year is the place in our country where you can be the first to view the sunrise. The views were astonishing! There was a 27 mile loop scenic drive around the park that led to a variety of photo op locations with several ponds and lakes adding to the gorgeous scenery. I'm so glad that God chose to have the earth display His glory...there's no mistaking his hugeness when you're at Acadia National Park. We had to go two days in a row because there's not enough time in one trip to stop at every scenic location. OK, I know this is a little over the top, but we took 400 pictures during this trip!! I just couldn't get enough of all the color, forest, mountains, seacliffs and shoreline. What a blessing!
