Acadia National Park, Maine
Acadia National Park is famous its rugged coast line and steep mountains. But those rocks and ruggedness hold a surprise -- caves. Some National Parks have cave in their name, such as Mammoth Cave National Park. But many other National Parks also contain caves. Acadia has two types of caves. The first are sea caves found in the rocks of that rugged Maine coastline. Here wave action and storms have taken advantage of cracks, fractures or other weaknesses in the rock to excavate rooms and tunnels that look out onto the water. The second type of cave are talus or boulders caves. These are found inland and up on the mountains in Acadia. These caves may be large rocks fallen into piles with voids in between the stones or enlarged cracks in cliffs.
