Hiking in Acadia

Best Experiences From our Vacation

Cadillac Mountain

See more photos here!

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.

Precipice Trail

See more photos here!

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.
