Probably the most popular of the summit hikes in Acadia National Park is the trek up Cadillac Mountain. Cadillac is the highest mountain in the park (1,350 feet) but is probably better known as the first place the sun touches the US mainland every morning. While not a big mountain when compared to the massive peaks out west, it is a challenging walk along exposed granite ridges and culminates at a summit which offers a 360-degree view of Acadia, Bar Harbor, and the surrounding area. There are several paths up the mountain and we chose to ascend via the popular North Ridge Trail and return via the South Ridge Trail. Made for a challenging all-day hike but one well worth the effort.
