Rediscover America

摘要

Many national parks offer a week's worth or more of exploring plus close access to fun in nearby towns. So consider slowing down your next family getaway with some scenic drives, hikes, wildlife watching, and biking, and nediscover some of America's favorite parks. At Mount Desert Island, Maine, home of Acadia National Park, the mountains meet the sea, making for a rugged landscape of ocean-carved rock and wild waves. Known for 45 miles of broken-stone carriage trails developed by John D. Rockefeller Jr., the park has endless opportunities for hiking and biking. With mountains that extend no higher than 1,600 feet above sea level, Acadia's highest peaks are accessible to many, often via short hikes.
