Trek Through Acadia by bike or car

Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island hold something for everyone. There's a reason that it was recently voted as the #4 in the Top 10 Islands in the Continental U.S. in Travel + Leisure 2018 World’s Best Awards. Whether you're out to summit Precipice trail, or spreading homemade jam on a fresh Popover at Jordan Pond House, you're bound to have a great time with a day in the park. And the best spot to take it all in? Cadillac Mountain! Located along the park loop, is this windy, two lane road, that brings you to the top of famed Cadillac Mountain. THE spot to catch a sunrise - mimosa optional! Cadillac Mountain is no small feat, but easily accessible on two wheels or four. On any given day in the summer, you'll find cyclists and cars meshed together making the trek up this windy road.
