"Acadia National Park has been under construction and renovation for a long time-about 500 million years. Geological forces have shoved bedrock up out of the sea to form a coastal mountain range that in turn was buffeted by the forces of the sea, wind, and weather, in the process creating such a magnificent display of primordial beauty that people have long sought peace and solace here." Beauty in this national park exists from the top of Cadillac Mountain down to the tide pools, where you might just spot a colorful nudibranch ("sea slug").
