7. Mount Cadillac

The Arcadia National Park runs a terrific free bus service (once you have purchased you NP pass) so that you can leave your car and access the different trails etc and not always have to walk a circular route. The blue sky and sunshine were back but there was a strong wind blowing so we dressed accordingly and got off the bus at the trail head for the North Ridge path, the shorter but steeper ascent of Mount Cadillac. The trek was fabulous as it was mostly walking up huge slabs of rock with scenic viewpoints all around. There were lots of official cairns regularly placed so even we couldn't get lost. After a great hike up we set off down on the longer, gently sloping South Ridge, with equally gorgeous views of the rocky path to follow and the amazing Maine coastline. Definitely my favourite day so far.
