The view from the top of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park in Maine.
From the site AcadiaMagic.com:
At 1,532 feet, Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park is the highest point along the North Atlantic seaboard and is 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, Maine, that were pushed up by earth’s tectonic and volcanic forces millions of years ago. Were it not for the once huge glaciers that sheared off their tops, they would be even higher than what we see today. Note the slopes on the islands in the distance to see the impact the glaciers had on the land.

Out here in Seattle a 1,532 “mountain” is called a hill. Nice shot though.
Same here Prentis – we usually think of Mt Katahdin (ME) and Mt Washington (NH) which are both in the 5-6,000 plus foot range. But Cadillac is the biggest in Acadia and, believe it or not, the tallest on the eastern seaboard. Nothing like Mt. Rainier though.
I would love to visit Acadia Park. I have seen some amazing photos of the place, particularly along the seashore. There is great stuff to see most anywhere…even hills.
I love Maine!
Thanks “joe”, it’s a great place. I see you’re a Pats fan too. Could be a good year.
I have a photo or two somewhere down the line around Day 190 or so of me in Old Orchard Beach!
Despite my name being Joe on this my name is actually Simon ha ha
Yeah should be a good year alright, I fancy them for the Superbowl this year! Or at least lose to the Niners and not the Giants!
Sounds good Simon. Win or lose, I could not handle another SB against the Giants!
I don’t think I could even watch it again if it were a repeat, my girlfriends father is a die hard Giants fan, it’s taken him this long to get over the SB, I can’t handle that again!
