I am glad you enjoyed vacationing in our fair state.
The "Downeast" region and Acadia National Park has many scenic views. You should have sent out some notice. There are a few of us here in Maine that could have arranged a meet up.
Maybe next time!

What you were told is close to the truth.
Cadillac Mountian is not the highest peak on the east coast, not even the highest peak in Maine - that would be Kattadin at 5,268, which is the northern most part of the Appalachian Trial.
No, Cadillac isn't even close. It does have other, more notable, distinctions. At 1,532 feet, Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park is the highest point along the North Atlantic seaboard . The base of the mountain meets the sea.
But even more interesting, it is the first place to view sunrise in the United States. At sunrise on New Years Day it is a busy spot...
