Acadia National Park is home to many famous hikes. I rarely hear people talking about Acadia Mountain, even though it boasts the same name as the park. Compared with surrounding peaks on Mount Desert Island, Acadia Mountain is rather short, rising just 681 feet above sea level. (In comparison, Cadillac tops off at 1,530 feet above sea level.) But I think that Acadia Mountain is the perfect destination for someone who is new to climbing in the park and wants to see if that type of hiking is really for them.
