Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park, at 1,530 feet (466 meters), is the highest point along the North Atlantic seaboard and the first place to view sunrise in the United States from October 7 through March 6. It is one of over 20 mountains on Mount Desert Island (MDI), Maine that were pushed up by earth's tectonic and volcanic forces millions of years ago. Were it not for the once enormous glaciers that sheared off their tops, they would be even higher than what we see today. You can easily see the results of this on a smaller scale by viewing the slopes on the Porcupine Islands in the distance. The North side is on the left and the steeper slope, or the down side, is on the right east side. The glaciers crept across the land here from the left to the right (in a southerly direction) and stretched out to sea as far as 400 miles (644 kilometers)!

Cadillac Mountain was named after the French explorer and adventurer, Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, Sieur de Cadillac in 1918. Prior to this, it was known as Green Mountain. From about 1534 through 1763, a substantial part of the North American continent was colonized and under the control of France. Duing this time, it was known as New France and at its peak in 1712, extended all the way from Newfoundland to the Rocky Mountains to the West and the Gulf of Mexico to the South. In 1688, Antoine Laumet de La Mothe Sieur de Cadillac was given ownership of over 100,000 acres of land along the present day Maine coast which included Mount Desert Island and areas next to present day Union River.
The elevation is 1,530 feet (466.34m)

Cadillac Mountain used to be called Green Mountain.
In the late 1800's there was a hotel on the summit called Green Mountain House Hotel.
Huge continental glaciers sheered off the tops of the mountains.
The last glacial period impacting this area ended about 18,000 years ago.
Cadillac Mountain was named after the Frenchman, Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, Sieur de Cadillac.

Acadia National Park is a National Park located in the U.S. state of Maine. It reserves much of Mount Desert Island, and associated smaller islands, off the Atlantic coast. Originally created as Lafayette National Park in 1919,[3] the oldest National Park east of the Mississippi River,[4] it was renamed Acadia in 1929 The landscape architect Charles Eliot is credited with the idea for the park.[8] George B. Dorr, called the father of Acadia National Park, along with Charles's father Charles W., the president of Harvard, supported the idea both through donations of land and through advocacy at the state and federal levels. It first attained federal status when President Woodrow Wilson, established it as Sieur de Monts National Monument on July 8, 1916, administered by the National Park Service. On February 26, 1919, it became a national park, with the name Lafayette National Park in honor of the Marquis de Lafayette, an influential French supporter of the American Revolution. The park's name was changed to Acadia National Park on January 19, 1929, in honor of the former French colony of Acadia which once included Maine,More Info
Thunder Hole in Acadia National Park (Bar Harbor, Maine)
Please check out my photos on Flickr:
_______________________________________________________
Thunder Hole is the place in Acadia National Park to experience the thunder of the sea against the rocky shores of Maine! On calm days you may wonder what the fuss is all about. But wait until the waves kick up a few notches. Thunder Hole is a small inlet, naturally carved out of the rocks, where the waves roll into. At the end of this inlet, down low, is a small cavern where, when the rush of the wave arrives, air and water is forced out like a clap of distant thunder. Water may spout as high as 40 feet with a thunderous roar! Hence the name: Thunder Hole.

Accessibility: Upper level viewing area, restrooms and parking is wheelchair accessible.

Nothing symbolizes the power of Acadia National Park as much as Thunder Hole does.
When the right size wave rolls into the naturally formed inlet, a deep thunderous sound emanates. The cause is a small cavern formed low, just beneath the surface of the water. When the wave pulls back just before lunging forward, it dips the water just below the ceiling of the cavern allowing air to enter. When the wave arrives full force, it collides with the air, forcing it out, resulting in a sound like distant thunder. Water may splash into the air as high as 40 feet with a roar!
This is a beautiful spot to view some of the most striking features within Acadia. Northward is Sand Beach and the Great Head to the right. Southward is the majestic 110 foot high Otter Cliff, one of the highest headlands north of Rio de Janeiro.
Thunder Hole is just past Sand Beach while traveling south on the Park Loop Road. The Island Explorer Shuttle Bus stops here about every half hour during normal seasonal daytime hours.

Il n'existe qu'un seul parc national sur la côte Est américaine et c'est celui-ci. Il est très fréquenté par les américains, mais peu connu de nous les québécois.
Nos voisins nous avaient déjà parlé de Bar Harbor, localité située à proximité du parc national. La curiosité aidant et désirant découvrir de nouveaux horizons, nous avons décidé de nous y rendre et y passer une fin de semaine.
Ce parc est situé sur l'île des Monts Déserts (Mount Desert Island). Il s'agit d'un secteur protégé et des frais d'entrée sont exigés.
En fait, le coût de la passe est de 25 $ US par voiture et elle est valide pour une période de 7 jours. On peut se la procurer directement au Centre des Visiteurs à l'entrée du parc ou directement sur le web à l'adresse suivante: .
On retrouve dans ce parc mer, plages, lacs et montagnes. C'est pourquoi une multitude d'activités y sont proposées: randonnées pédestres ou en vélo, kayak, paddle board, croisières, etc.
En ce qui nous concerne, pour cette première visite, nous emprunterons la Loop Road en voiture. Il s'agit en fait d'une route panoramique de 43 km qui nous permet de découvrir les différents attraits touristiques du parc.
La grande majorité du parcours est à sens unique et celui-ci offre des points de vue exceptionnels sur le littoral, les lacs et montagnes.
En premier lieu, nous nous sommes arrêtés à un belvédère afin d'avoir une vue panoramique de la ville de Bar Harbor (voir vidéo C'est à ce moment-là que j'ai découvert qu'il existait un tombolo reliant Bar Harbor à Bar Island.
Un tombolo est créé lorsque la marée est basse. L'eau se retire, permettant un étroit passage qui relie la côte et l'île.
Je me suis informée de la prochaine marée basse. Elle serait à 17h30. Nous nous y rendrons donc en fin de journée (voir vidéo
Nous avons fait un court arrêt au Beaver Dam Pond. Nous n'avons vu aucun castor lors de notre visite. Seule une grosse grenouille a attiré notre attention.
Nous avons également fait un arrêt à Sand Beach, l'unique plage de sable de ce parc (voir vidéo ainsi qu'au Thunder Hole, une petite baie dans laquelle les vagues viennent se fracasser (voir vidéo
Quelques arrêts également le long des falaises ainsi qu'à Otter Cove et puis nous avons fait une petite pause au Jordan Pond House sur l'heure du midi pour s'y restaurer.
Il y avait une longue file d'attente au restaurant. Nous nous sommes donc dirigés à l'étage supérieur. Il y a une petite boutique offrant soupe, sandwiches et grignotines. Le tout était succulent. Cependant, le total de la facture est plutôt élevé.
Un petit détour sur les rives du Lac Jordan nous a permis d'observer un couple pratiquer le paddle bord avec leurs deux petits chiens à leur côté.
Et puis, nous avons pris la route qui mène au sommet du mont Cadillac afin d'avoir une vue panoramique non seulement du parc, mais également de tout le littoral, incluant Bar Harbor (voir vidéo
