Hike Gorham Mountain Loop

Gorham Mountain Loop provides an excellent overview of what Acadia has to offer on this beautiful hike. Rocky coastline, Cadillac looming in the distance, and a panoramic view of ocean drive await those who hikes this loop. Enjoy a taste of history on this hike with a plaque dedicated to Waldron Bates. Bates was a visionary when it came to outdoor recreation and many trails in the park exist because of his dedication.

Distance: 3.5 mile round trip. Choosing to do the Cadillac Cliff trail section does not change the distance only changes the difficulty.

Cadillac Mountain is located on Mount Desert Island, within Acadia National Park, in the U.S. state of Maine. With an elevation of 1,530 feet, its summit is the highest point in Hancock County and the highest within 25 miles of the Atlantic shoreline of the North American continent between the Cape Breton Highlands, Nova Scotia, and peaks in Mexico. It is known as the first place in the continental U.S. to see the sunrise, although that is only true for a portion of the year.
