    Bike racks are available outside the Visitor Center, which has bathrooms, a gift shop, and a place to refill water bottles. You can walk your bike on paved paths to the West of the parking lot and visitor center where there are sweeping views of Bar Harbor and Mount Desert Island. The sun rises on the summit of Cadillac Mountain before any other land in the U.S., and in the summer every morning hundreds of visitors purchase tickets to drive up the Park Loop Road to watch the sunrise. If you bike up for the sunrise you don't need a ticket, but be sure to wear good reflective gear and lights and expect to be accompanied by a conga line of tourists in SUVs.

      Very nice, steady climb of 3 miles. Good road condition, good for a nice downhill.
