The parking lot is much smaller here but a great spot if you want to watch the sunset. There’s also a lookout just before the peak called the Blue Hill Overlook. There is a trail that goes to the top, but we don’t believe in hiking to any spot you can drive to. If you want the solitude, though, there’s plenty of space to walk further down and find a spot to yourself. While we were there, we enjoyed the sunset with hundreds of others. It’s easily the most popular spot in the park. Our first stop when we arrived in the park was Cadillac Mountain for sunset.

Thank you Visit Maine for hosting our trip and Lexus for hooking us up with a car for the weekend. The beautiful rugged coast, stunning fall foliage, and granite peaks make for a beautiful backdrop. It was an 8 hour drive from NYC, but we were willing to do it since we would be seeing the autumn colors both ways.
