| Took a little sidetrip to Acadia after hiking the "100-mile Wilderness." Spent a couple days hiking around the area and trying to avoid the burgeoning masses of windshield tourists that plagued the island. What an amazing area. Love the rounded, pink granite boulders surrounding the island. Great trip with an awesome sunset and subsequent sunrise on Cadillac. | |

| gbeane | New Years Morning Date Climbed: Jan 1, 2012 | |
| Hiked up via the north ridge for sunrise on new years day. Weather was unseasonably warm starting out, with plenty of bare rock and occasional ice flows (no snow). Top of the mountain was very windy, foggy, and cold with ice building up on our clothing while we were waiting for the sun to come up. Nice way to start the new year. | |

| jjdubs | Tough Drive! Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2010 | |
| Heading back down to Massachusetts from Katahdin, we took the scenic route. All said, it took roughly 18 hours to get from Maine's highest point the the Atlantic coast's highest point. What a weekend. | |

| A fun drive and ramble to the top with my wife. It's easy to escape the crowds, they don't go far from the parking lot. | |

| Mark Doiron | Maybe Not the Smartest Thing I've Done Date Climbed: Jul 4, 2010 | |
| Look at that date. If you're looking for solitude, maybe hitting a popular tourist destination like Bar Harbor, Maine isn't the smartest thing to do on the fourth of July. Throw in near-record breaking heat and the only sand beach around (within the park boundaries), and you have a prescription for huge crowds. Regardless, we hiked very early in the morning and didn't see anyone until near the summit. The hike back down was crowded, even for the tough trail we selected (Cadillac West Face). --mark d. | |

| gbeane | south ridge, one of my old time favorites Date Climbed: Oct 15, 2007 | |
| Been up many times via the South Ridge Trail, but I haven't been back to it for a little while. Last time was a fall hike, and the wind was really blowing once we were above the tree line. Cold and hard to stand up on the ridge - I had a lots of fun, it was another great day in Acadia! I Might do it again this winter. | |

| Hiked up and back on the North Ridge trail. Fog and light rain completely obscured the summit view. It was still a nice hike with beautiful fall colors. | |

| Dartmouth Hiker | Range traverse Date Climbed: Jun 6, 2009 | |
| After failing to climb Cadillac as a kid (accidentally did Pemetic instead), I was eager to give this one a shot on vacation. My younger cousin and I got dropped off by Hadlock Pond and proceeded over Bald Peak, Sargent, Penobscot, S. Bubble, Pemetic and Cadillac in beautiful weather, ending on the summit where we got picked up. Took about 7 hours--my cousin slowed down a bit toward the end, but did pretty well for his first real hike. Now I have to come back to try the Precipice! (it was closed while I was there) | |
