Impressive

Beautiful view

This is one of the easiest summits on Mount Desert Island, but the views do not disappoint. From the very top you can see north to Champlain, Dorr, and Cadillac mountains (from east to west), and you get views of Sand Beach from an overlook not far down. There are often lots of families with children on the trail in the summer. Those looking for more of a challenge should be sure to check out the Cadillac Cliffs Trail.

On a sunny day in early June, we passed Thunder Hole on a circular hike from Sand Beach, via The Beehive and Gorham Mountain to Otter Point along the Ocean Path. The sea was calm and there were no signs of the tide changing anytime soon. Since we didn't want to wait two hours, we missed the spectacle, the noise and the high waves on the sea cliff. https://www.nps.gov/places/thunder-hole.htm

The hike up Gorham Mountain can be combined with the ascent of The Beehive on a circular hike. At the beginning of June we walk on the Beehive Trail over the rocky summit and descend north to the mountain lake The Bowl. We climb up a rocky path to the summit of Gorham Mountain and can look back on the via ferrata on The Beehive along the way. On Gorham Mountain we have a fantastic view of the mountains to the north, the Cadillac, Dorr and Champlain Mountains. https://www.nps.gov/thingstodo/hike-gorham-mountain-loop.htm

The 'Otter Cliffs' are a 33-meter-high granite cliff on the east coast of 'Mount Desert Island'. Pedestrians have access to the cliffs via the 'Ocean Path'; there is a parking lot nearby on the 'Park Loop Road'. In the summer months, the cliffs are a popular place for climbers. https://www.acadia.ws/otter-cliff.htm
