From the Appalachian Mountains to the rocky shores of the Atlantic Ocean, Maine is a beautiful state.  It has been a tourist destination for decades.  The gentle summers coupled with spectacular beauty create dazzling landscapes and surreal surroundings.  Acadia National Park is a destination that many tourists want to visit when touring Maine.  The majestic a rocky cliffs and the pounding Atlantic Ocean combine with forest covered mountains that drop to the seashore.  Though a drive along Highway 1 through the state is a venture within itself, one can make more of their time in Maine if they take a trip by rail.
