Created in 1916, and encompassing 45,000 acres on two islands and a mainland peninsula at the rugged coast of Maine, Acadia National Park is a jewel of granite mountains, filigreed coastlines, unique cultural resources, dazzling night skies, and precious communities of plant and animal life. Drawing more than 2.5 million visitors every year, Acadia is likely one of the ten hottest national parks in america. The one illustrated book officially published with the Friends of Acadia, this stunning portfolio of photographs reveals Acadia’s diverse habitats and brings home the contrasts of pounding ocean and silent coves, bald mountain summits and deep forest valleys, as never before seen.The essays convey the unseen story of Acadia: its history as a national park; the crucial role of the founding families in its creation; the past and current importance of personal stewardship; and its status as a unique park forged in a particular time and place in history. Acadia National Park celebrates the essence of this special place and offers a cherished journey into its past, present, and long run.
