Drove up to Cadillac Mt. late afternoon after all the tour busses and crowds were gone. Parking was easy. Was windy and chilly late September, so bring a hat and gloves. Amazing views all around from the short summit walk. Bring your camera. Spectacular sunset from one of the pullovers on the way down.

This is the highest mountain in Acadia and walkable from trail from Blackwoods campground. Recommend waking up early and driving up for sunrise- first place in continental US to see the sun rise. Truly breathtaking- hope for clear day! Trails are marked well and the panoramic view are well worth the trek Was not shuttle directly to Cadillac but there... More 

We drove to the top of the mountain (not everyone is a granola crunching hiker). The climate on top of the mountain is so very different than the shore. The day we were there it was foggy but there is supposed to be a great view from the top.

The parking fills up fast and we had to double park but everyone was there for the same thing the Amazing sun rise. Go early to get a good parking spot. They say the Sunset sets are... More

If you're looking for stunning views of Bar Harbor and Porcupine islands, drive the road up this 1530 foot mountain. There are many walking trails on top of the.flat, granite based summit. Alot a couple of hours to really enjoy the vistas and what the area has to offer.
