Despite the uncertainty in National Parks across the US, Acadia National Park continues to increase the spirit. During the unpredictable period, the park announced the opening of a new job, looking for a seasonal trail crew worker.
“We are concerned that the Federal recruitment process generally takes longer than it does in the private sector (…) any moratorium to rent making another obstacle towards workers who actually come to work in Acadia,” the park wrote in his post. “
There are other changes that occur, including A new approach to entry fees. We will discuss it a little later. In addition, we will take a closer look at one of the most popular Acadia routes, and why it causes controversy in the park. It seems that visitors continue to ignore the closure, and it may do more harm than good.
