I highly recommend you take a drive or hike to the top of Cadillac Mountain. The views are beautiful! We drove to the top. There's a paved road and parking lot, but my recommendation is to get to the park early and head to Cadillac Mountain first before the crowds arrive. Parking is tight at the top and they close the road down if there is no parking available, creating long waits at the bottom of the mountain. We arrived around 8:30 AM and the parking lot was close to three-fourths full. So we found a spot, but it was starting to get tight. There's nice path around the summit of the mountain for you to view the entire landscape.
There are bathrooms and a gift shop at the top and if you collect stamps for your National Park Book, make sure to get your stamp at the gift shop!
There are really two sides to Acadia. The side with the loop road is by far the busiest, but I highly encourage you to take a day and visit the other side. There are some cool light houses and rock formation features that you don't want to miss!
Nothing beats views from Cadillac Mountain to start your day in Acadia National Park!
