This morning Barbara and I got up early and headed to Acadia National Park. California has a beautiful coastline, but based on what we saw today, Maine’s coastline is every bit as impressive. That could be why Acadia National Park is known as the Crown Jewel of the North Atlantic Coast. Due to all of its bays, inlets and fjord, Maine has more shoreline than California. The granitic rocks that make up most of the park were formed the same way as those in Yosemite. However, the rocks here are twice as old as those in Yosemite and due to the amount of time, exposed to the elements, the highest points in the park are only around 1,000 feet in elevation.
Bar Harbor
The largest town on Mt. Desert Island, where most of Acadia National Park resides is Bar Harbor, pronounced Ba Haba by the locals. Bar Harbor is a cross between Tahoe City and Monterey, California. Definitely a tourist destination.
