Travel to Maine’s Mount Desert Island. For it is here you will find Acadia National Park. This park preserves the natural, stark beauty of the Atlantic coastline and includes 47,000 acres.
This park includes beaches, clear lakes, campgrounds, granite outcroppings, lush pine forests, and over 100 miles of exceptional hiking and biking trails. Climb Cadillac Mountain and see Bar Harbor, the Porcupine Islands, Frenchman Bay, and Somes Sound. You can even go horseback riding and watch for the local harbor seals happily sunning themselves on the various harbor rocks there.
15.Joshua Tree National Park, California
Regular readers should already know this national park was arguably made world-famous thanks to the release of the 1987 U2 album, Joshua Tree. This is not only the 11th most-visited national park, but it is also the place to find over 500 interesting archeological sites and probably the best group of rock-climbing faces in the entire country. It’s definitely a real hot spot for rock climbers. Newcomers will undoubtedly note the bizarre rock formations and the odd, furry trees found here in this Dr. Seuss-like landscape just past the city of Twentynine Palms.
