By far, the most popular place to watch sunset in Acadia National Park is
Cadillac Mountain. In part it’s because at 1,530 feet,
Cadillac is the tallest point in the park. (It’s also the highest point
along the North Atlantic seaboard!) But visitor’s also come to Cadillac
because at certain times of the year, it’s the first place that the sun
hits the United States seaboard.

Rising over 1,000 feet in 0.9 miles, the
Precipice Trail requires physical and mental strength. It
is a rugged, non-technical climb with open cliff faces and iron rungs.
Upon reaching the summit of Champlain Mountain, climbers are rewarded with
impressive views. It is not recommended for small children, for people
with a fear of heights, or for anyone in wet weather. Descending the
Precipice is dangerous and not advised.
