Ever wanted to be the very first person in the country to see the sunrise? Today we do just that on top of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park!

In this episode, we dig into the pink rocks under our feet to uncover a 420-million-year-old mystery. Discover why Acadia is shaped like a failed volcano, how a mile-thick wall of solid ice completely remodeled the park, and why there is a 28,000-pound gray boulder balancing on the edge of a pink cliff.

Loon audio graciously provided by Dr Jay Mager of Ohio Northern University.

Parents & Educators: This episode is perfect for kids ages 6–12 and covers key Earth Science and STEM concepts including geology (igneous rock formation), glaciology (how glaciers reshape landscapes), and animal adaptations.

🎒Scout mission included! Experience our fun mission thats great for trips or the backyard with your family.

🏕️ If you could go anywhere to watch the sunrise, where would you go?
