Every once in a while it’s a good idea to take a moment out of the day and simply appreciate the world around us. There will always be things going on in the world that scare us, so stopping to see the natural world is truly necessary. And, there’s no better place to do that than Maine. With one of the best landscapes in the country, it was actually pretty easy to find these 14 sites in Maine that show how beautiful America really is.
