Cadillac Mountain

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.

It has some of the best sunsets that I’ve ever seen…

and I have seen that sunrise.

Sunrises and sunsets are both beautiful from the top of Cadillac, and the road is an easy drive (as long as your brakes work fine) :-) It’s said that at some times of year, Cadillac is the first place on the East Coast to see the sun.
