Topping off at 1,530 feet above sea level, Cadillac Mountain is the tallest peak on the eastern seaboard. It’s also known as the first place in the United States to bask in the sun’s rays each morning for part of the year. Hiking Cadillac for sunrise is challenging. You’ll need a headlamp and extra batteries, on top of all the other typical hiking gear and clothing. Pack plenty of water and snacks for fuel. A thermos of coffee or cocoa might be nice, too. And a park pass is required.
