I recommend taking the hike from the blackwoods camping area up Cadillac Mountain for the great hike and beautiful views as you journey upwards. A moderately difficult hike, I enjoyed it greatly, despite the anti-climatic ending. It was a little disappointing to reach the summit only to find a full parking lot and loads and loads of tourists… for a more pristine view, take the hike from Jordan Pond up Penobscott to Sergent Mountain.
