More Acadia

Cadillac Mountain is located on Mount Desert Island within Acadia National Park. With an elevation of 1,528 feet, its summit is the highest point within 25 miles of the shoreline of the North American continent between the Cape Breton Highlands, Nova Scotia and Mexican peaks 180 miles south of the Texas border.

What a great view!

Proud to have arrived at Cadillac Mountain after thousands of miles and five months on the road.

Before being renamed in 1918, the mountain had been called Green Mountain. The new name honors the French explorer and adventurer, Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac.

Nice art in the gift shop.

The Schoodic Peninsula, containing the only portion of Acadia National Park on the mainland, has granite headlands, rocky beaches, and spruce-fir forests. Although similar in scenery to Mount Desert Island, the coast of the Schoodic Peninsula is more secluded.

Who painted the rocks?

A six-mile, one-way loop road offers views of lighthouses, sea birds, and forested islands.

Our boondocking site was just south of the Canadian border near Mahar Point and a place named Reversing Falls.

The view out the T@b window. Beautiful, but the Mosquitos were seriously at work.

Let's hear it for the Final Four of over twenty RVers who began this journey from the West Coast last winter!
