Acadia National Park protects the natural beauty of the highest rocky headlands along the Atlantic coastline of the United States, an abundance of habitats, and a rich cultural heritage. At 4 million visits a year, it’s one of the top 10 most-visited national parks in the United States. Visitors enjoy 27 miles of historic motor roads, 158 miles of hiking trails, and 45 miles of carriage roads. As the eastern and northernmost state in the contiguous United States, you might already be aware that Maine is the first state the sun’s rays touch every day. What you might not know is that – because the sun is in a different location across the sky throughout the year – the precise points that see America’s first light actually rotates throughout the year. From March to mid-September, it’s 1,748-foot Mars Hill near the Canadian border; from Mid-September to October, it’s Quoddy Head State Park in Lubec; and from Mid-October to early March, it’s 1,532-foot Cadillac Mountain Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor. That means that Acadia’s tallest peak actually holds the title of “First to See Sunrise” for most of the year. 12:15pm-12:50pm ET Registration Sign In and Pick a Seat!
