We had perfect weather to view the sunset on Cadillac mountain. The park is very busy so plan to get there about an hour before the sun goes down so you have a parking space. We viewed from the start of the north summit trail. However some people expressed the opinion that you should watch from the blue hill parking... More 

Make sure to get up Cadillac Mountain for a sunrise or set. Be aware-the park is sometimes closed to cars in the morning so check the NPS website before you get up early. Parking on the summit is limited so get there early. Fog and clouds can sometimes close the mountain so make it a priority to go if you... More 

It was an easy drive from the Loop Road, with ample parking at the top. The views were spectacular in all directions. Easy walking trails around the summit made everything accessible. You'll be tempted to stop on the drive up to take photos. Most of the photos are better from the top so do yourself a favor and wait for... More 

Wonderful stop to get the lay of the land and enjoy spectacular views The trail around the top is an easy walk for most and plenty of vistas for great photo ops. Be sure to check out the trail system throughout the Acadia Park along with the Carriage Trails

It was exciting to drive up the steep road to the top of Cadillac Mountain. Of course, as the driver, I couldn't look out to enjoy the views along the way, but being at the windy peak was exhilarating! On the clear morning in mid-September we could see the islands and the ocean all around us.

The drive is gorgeous filled with lots of opportunities to pull off for scenic photo ops of Bar Harbor with cruise ships in the bay. When you... More 

Lots to see and do, but you have to go to the summit to complete the Acadia experience. The vista is legendary. Don't forget your camera. I recommend early morning or late afternoon.

While we were in Acadia National Park, we experienced sunrise and sunset on Cadillac Mountain. This was a awesome experience to say the least. I recommend it.

We had the privileged to be here on a full moon, so watching the moon set to our west and the sun rise to our east was incredible. If you're going for sunrise, set out early as the parking is limited and gets extremely full and people will park anywhere they can. The only thing that was disappointing about this... More
