Dawn on Cadillac Mountain

Maine, USA

What is now called Cadillac Mountain is the highest point along the U.S. Atlantic Coast. The Wabanaki people have long held this mountain, Wapuwoc (White Mountain of the First Light), as a spiritually significant place. At the summit the winds are strong and soils are thin, creating a "krummholtz" landscape of twisted shrubs, stunted trees, and low-growing plants. You can drive to the granite peak, so it is a popular sunrise and sunset destination.
