Acadia National Park

Friday, August 12

Today we went to Acadia National Park and we hiked the Ocean Path. We saw one of the few sandy beaches in Acadia. The water brings the sand in and onto the beach in the spring. Before winter, the tide takes all of the sand off the rocks and back into the ocean. It leaves the beach with only rounded rocks called cobblestones.
When we drove up Cadillac Mountain, we had a hard time finding a parking spot. It had a gorgeous view. After that, we went on a hike with a ranger. We learned that this area was French, then British, and then it became America.
