Tips to Watch the Cadillac Mountain Sunrise

June 5, 2022 Leave a Comment

One of my life bucket list items has always been to watch the sunrise at the top of Cadillac Mountain and last weekend I was able to do just that. I will say that I have always wanted to hike to the top in the morning to watch the sunrise but we were not prepared at all for that so instead, my son and I drove to the top to watch the sunrise. It was such an amazing experience to watch the sunrise with him and something I hope he will remember for many years to come. I was able to gather some tips to watch the Cadillac Mountain Sunrise if you are thinking about going in the near future to make the trip a little bit easier and more enjoyable.

Tips to Watch the Cadillac Mountain Sunrise

Know the sunrise time

This may seem obvious but you would be surprised. Do a quick google search to see what time sunrise actually is and make sure to get there before that time.

Arrive early

You may want to arrive early enough to grab a good spot to watch the sunrise. When we got there the parking lot was completely full and thankfully we grabbed one of the last parking spots available and we got there about 15 minutes before the sunrise.

Wear layers

Even if it is warm outside, the top of Cadillac Mountain can be cold and windy. Make sure that you dress appropriately.

Make a reservation

Between May 25th through October 22nd, you will need reservations to drive the Cadillac Summit Road. According to the website about 30 percent of vehicle reservations are released 90 days ahead of each date. The remaining 70 percent are released at 10 am ET two days before the date. Reservations are $6. To make reservations head to Recreation.gov.

Sit back and relax

Sit back and enjoy the sunrise. Bring some coffee or breakfast and a blanket to sit on if desired. It’s an amazing experience and you want to be able to just enjoy it.

What’s something on your bucket list that you have done so far? Share with me in the comments and give me some more ideas for adventures in the future!

Acadia is my absolute favorite place to visit and having my kids there to hike and explore with makes it that much better.  One day they won’t want to do this with me so for now I’ll enjoy it while I can even though he may have whined just a little about getting up that early.

I’m happy that my body finally feels like my own I’m happy that my body finally feels like my own again but I’m sad that I may never experience another newborn and baby stage. 
How do I come to terms with never experiencing those firsts again or baby snuggles?

One year old. My little rainbow baby is officiall One year old. 
My little rainbow baby is officially one. It’s been absolute chaos this year but every second, every minute, every hour has been worth it. 
The amount of joy this little lady has brought into all of our lives is unexplainable. Being her mom has been amazing and I’m so excited to see what the next year brings. ❤️
