Specifically, a passage about how when Glacier NP was added as a national park there were 300 something glaciers, and when the book was written in 2016 there were 30.  I decided I needed to go see those glaciers.  The book also talked a lot about Acadia.  I honestly don&#8217;t even remember what it said about it, but I remember that after reading that book I wanted to go to Glacier, Yellowstone, and Acadia more than any other parks.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acadia did not disappoint.  The color of the water was a deeper blue than I have ever seen before.  There are miles of rocky shoreline and a few sand beaches.  There are mountains to climb and beautiful lakes to jump in to cool down.  I saw whales, beavers, and an enormous jellyfish.  All the while staying in Bar Harbor which is worth checking out as well.  I have a strong desire to buy a sailboat and travel around the world, and if I did, I would definitely spend a summer in Maine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_5525.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_5525-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_5525-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_5525-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_5525-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_5525-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_5525.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sunset at Sand Beach.
