Cadillac Mountain
Park
ππ Try to visit at sunrise. As of summer 2022 you need a reservation for your car. We went in July and I reserved my spot in April. We did a 3:15 am wake up time as the sunrise was at 4:55.

Schooner Head Overlook
Scenic spot
ππ Nice overlook, but I came here to visit the Anemone cave. Its a little dangerous to visit with the tide coming in, but none the less a cool spot to see that is not really documented as an attraction in the park anymore.
