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)
Summit Road Entrance GPS: Latitude 44.368891; Longitude -68.238506
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.

Bar Harbor est une charmante petite ville portuaire de l'état du Maine aux États-Unis. Elle est d'ailleurs la principale ville de l'île des Monts Déserts (Mount Desert Island).
C'est un lieu de villégiature très fréquenté durant la période estivale. La ville se situe à proximité du parc national d'Acadia qui offre de nombreux lacs, plusieurs sentiers de randonnée, la superbe plage de Sand Beach ainsi qu'un magnifique littoral.
L'endroit regorge de restaurants et de boutiques. Des croisières sont également offertes pour découvrir la baie du Français (Frenchman Bay).
Cette ville a un passé très glorieux. Elle peut se targuer d'avoir été au XIXe siècle la plus importante station balnéaire de la Nouvelle Angleterre. Les familles les plus riches et les plus puissantes d'Amérique, telles que les Ford, les Rockefeller et les Vanderbilt y possédaient des propriétés.
Malheureusement, un incendie a brûlé plusieurs de ces propriétés en 1947. Cependant, certaines de ces maisons peuvent être encore vues le long de West Street.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Acadia National Park is an American national park located in the state of Maine, southwest of Bar Harbor. The park preserves about half of Mount Desert Island, many adjacent smaller islands, and part of the Schoodic Peninsula on the coast of Maine. Acadia was initially designated Sieur de Monts National Monument by proclamation of President Woodrow Wilson in 1916. Sieur de Monts was renamed and redesignated Lafayette National Park by Congress in 1919—the first national park in the United States east of the Mississippi River and the only one in the Northeastern United States. The park was renamed Acadia National Park in 1929. More than 3.5 million people visited the park in 2017.
Native Americans of the Algonquian nations have inhabited the area called Acadia for at least 12,000 years. They traded furs for European goods when French, English, and Dutch ships began arriving in the early 17th century. The Wabanaki Confederacy has held an annual Native American Festival in Bar Harbor since 1989. Samuel de Champlain named the island Isle des Monts Deserts (Island of Barren Mountains) in 1604. The island was granted to Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac by Louis XIV of France in 1688, then ceded to England in 1713. Summer visitors, nicknamed rusticators, arrived in 1855, followed by wealthy families, nicknamed cottagers as their large houses were quaintly called cottages. Charles Eliot is credited with the idea for the park. George B. Dorr, the Father of Acadia National Park, along with Eliot's father Charles W. Eliot, supported the idea through donations of land, and advocacy at the state and federal levels. John D. Rockefeller Jr. financed the construction of carriage roads from 1915 to 1940. A wildfire in 1947 burned much of the park and destroyed 237 houses, including 67 of the millionaires’ cottages.
The park includes mountains, an ocean coastline, coniferous and deciduous woodlands, lakes, ponds, and wetlands encompassing a total of 49,075 acres (76.7 sq mi; 198.6 km2) as of 2017. Key sites on Mount Desert Island include Cadillac Mountain—the tallest mountain on the eastern coastline and one of the first places in the United States where one can watch the sunrise—a rocky coast featuring Thunder Hole where waves crash loudly into a crevasse around high tides, a sandy swimming beach called Sand Beach, and numerous lakes and ponds. Jordan Pond features the glacially rounded North and South Bubbles (rôche moutonnées) at its northern end, while Echo Lake has the only freshwater swimming beach in the park. Somes Sound is a five-mile (8 km) long fjard formed during a glacial period that reshaped the entire island to its present form, including the U-shaped valleys containing the many ponds and lakes. The Bass Harbor Head Light is situated above a steep, rocky headland on the southwest coast—the only lighthouse on the island.
The park protects the habitats of 37 mammalian species including black bears, moose and white-tailed deer, seven reptilian species including milk snakes and snapping turtles, eleven amphibian species including wood frogs and spotted salamanders, 33 fish species including rainbow smelt and brook trout, and as many as 331 birds including various species of raptors, songbir ...

Top 8 Destinations in Acadia National Park
Acadia National Park is one of the most incredible places you will ever visit. This national park is known by many as the crown jewel of the north atlantic coast. In this video, I want to share with you 8 of my favorite destinations within this park.
*UPDATE - I FORGOT ONE TOP DESTINATION!! BE SURE TO VISIT BAR HARBOR AS WELL FOR MORE MAINE CULTURE*
Bar Harbor Walking Tour Video:
Starting off with the first spot in acadia, Thunder Hole is an excellent location to see waves crash in to a hole in the rocks, where they make a thunderous boom and spash dozens of feet in the air. This is a destination in Acadia that does not require a hike, and instead can be reached via a parking lot across the road, or by taking the free Acadia National Park shuttle.
Secondly, make sure to stop by the Acadia National Park visitor center. I always recommend talking to a ranger or at least reading the signs in a visitor center so you can be aware of any closed trails, trail maintenance, dangers, as well as the positive things to look for like the history, geology, and biology of the park.
Destination number 3 is Gorham mountain trail, which brings you up to a 525 ft. elevation summit with spectacular views over the coastline. Unfortunately it was crowded during my visit, but this view was still impressive
The fourth destination is Bass Harbor Head Light (lighthouse) which is the iconic short red light house. This light house is historic and offers a beautiful view of the Maine coastline. this is a symbol of Acadia National Park and should not be skipped!
Be sure to indulge in the north atlantic costal culture with some fresh lobster purchased from a local fisherman. Be sure to not pay too much at mass retailers, and instead buy directly from the fishermen.
Destination five is Jordan Pond, Jordan House, and the surrounding carriage trails. These trails are perfect for hiking, biking, and exploring the beautiful nature without much strain. The pond and house offer unique scenerey, and a full service restaurant. If you are looking to go out to eat, I recommend either going to the Jordan Pond House, or perhaps Bar Harbor (
Destination six is Penobscot mountain. I chose the Jordan Cliffs hike to the peak because it is less crowded than Cadillac mountain, and offers an equally amazing view. If you are not up for this hike, you can drive to the summit of cadillac mountain on a non-crowded day (or early in the morning to be the first people in the US to see the sunrise!) Jordan Cliffs Trail is probably the most strenuous hike I encountered in Acadia, so be sure to only take this trail if you are an experienced hiker, and if the rocks are not slippery
Destination seven is a ride along park loop road. I recommend either rifding the free shuttle, or driving this loop to see most of the park
Number eight then is Bubble Rock. This iconic boulder balances on the edge of a cliff. Bubble rock was moved many miles by glaciers long ago and weighs more than two african elephants. This is a must-see and is only a 1 mile hike to the summit.
Thank you for watching!! I hope you enjoy your trip to Acadia National Park!
