Rising to 1,530 feet (466 meters), Cadillac Mountain is a must-do in Acadia National Park. It’s famed for its panoramic sunrise views, often being one of the first places in the U.S. to catch the morning rays. There’s a scenic drive leading to the summit, though visitors can also tackle a moderately challenging hike via the popular Cadillac North Ridge Trail. Summer and fall see the heaviest crowds, so consider making sunrise reservations in peak season. The 360-degree vista reveals rugged coastlines, islands, and Bar Harbor’s charming waterfront, making the trip well worth the early wake-up.
