Bubble Rock

There are a few rocks out there that seem to captivate the imagination of the public. Australia has Ayers Rock. The Mediterranean has the Rock of Gibraltar. America has Plymouth Rock and the ring Richard Burton gave to Liz Taylor. Acadia National Park has Bubble Rock.

Bubble Rock would hardly be given a second look if it wasn't perched precariously on top of an 800 foot hill. It seems very out of place, reputedly put there by a glacier (note: there are no witnesses).

Of all the many things I love about Acadia National Park in Maine, the rocks are as appealing as anything else. Don't believe me? I assure you that this is not a stone-faced lie. I mean it. The rocks are beautiful.
