Hiking in acadia np is not about the altitude. It’s altitude plus visibility.
The highest altitude is only 1530 feet. Cadillac mountain, nee green mountain, nee wapuwoc (first light mountain).
“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.”
Whatever. The point is not some statistic. The point is an infinite visibility to be seen from this dawnland overlooking the gulf of maine.
Imagine hiking weathered granite steps up the lower northwestern middle earth like slope, then scrambling up a pink granite desert sage ascension to the sudden crown of infinitely blue atlantic air space!
Once you see the truth, you never forget it.
