The park is stunning no matter the season you go. Very peaceful with gorgeous views.many points perfect for beautiful pictures. We will be back for sure
Beautiful national park!! The only down side was that we was unable to drive to the top of Cadillac Mountain, since we did not have a reservation. Due to the pandemic, they started doing reservations, and we was driving all day that day, so I had no idea what time we was going to make it there. We did get to enjoy the rest of the park though.
We drove the entire loop and saw gorgeous views at every turn. Cadillac Mtn was spectacular! The Sand Beach was our favorite and we spent the most of our visit just sitting and enjoying the historic view. Highly recommend!
Beautiful, a wilderness but close to the world. Lovely spot, next time will make more time to visit more and properly
Amazing views-- even from the road. The hike up to Bubble Rock and back took less than 1 hour, including all the stops to take photos. The trail was just challenging enough for our 5-year-old who thoroughly enjoyed it. We were a bit rushed (it was Thanksgiving). We will return in a warmer month for a full day.
Easy park to hike, beautiful views. I love the sea views next to the cliffs. Cadillac mountain sunrise is a must do while visiting here.
