This postcard shows a scenic view from the Park Loop Road leading to the summit of Cadillac Mountain on Mount Desert Island, Maine.

Mount Desert Island is the largest island off the coast of Maine and home to Acadia National Park.
The island was named "Ile de Monts Deserts" (island of the bare mountains) by French explorer Samuel de Champlain in 1604 due to its treeless peaks.
Cadillac Mountain is the highest point on the eastern seaboard of the United States, at an elevation of 1,530 feet (466 meters).
The island is a popular tourist destination known for its rugged coastline, mountains, and unique natural features like Somes Sound, a rare fjord
