Hike the North Ridge Trail

Cadillac Mountain

  • This is a moderate hike, possibly places to run in some places. I talked to a ranger and this is the trail she suggested. Other trails are dangerous when wet (it's very wet this weekend).
  • Hiked the 'North Ridge Trail' on the way up. There is a small shop at the top for food, restrooms, and souvenirs.
  • Took the 'Gorge Trail' on the way down. There is a trail that connects the top of Cadillac Mountain to the Gorge Trail, I'm not sure what it's called. Once down to Gorge Trail, things were very wet and slippery. I slipped and fell once, caught myself with my hand though. Very slow going, and the trail isn't marked very well.
  • Got slightly lost around mile 4. http://runkeeper.com/user/mikecomstock/activity/54395683
