Truck repair was done this morning, so we finally could head up the winding road to the peak of
Cadillac Mountain, the highest peak on the eastern seaboard and, in winter, the first place to see sunrise in the U.S. It is a popular place for sunrise and on a clear day, provides a gorgeous view in all directions.
Can't wait to hike the trails up the mountain. When the free
Island Explorer shuttle is running, we can start a hike in one place and finish in another, so there are lots of options up, over and around this peak.

While checking out the view from Cadillac Mountain, we noticed that the bar leading from Bar Harbor across to
Bar Island was exposed by low tide, so we headed to town for the unique experience of driving to the island. There is a short hiking trail on Bar Island, but plan carefully or you'll be stranded when the tide comes in. Just in a half hour, we noticed there was a noticeable reduction in the size of the "bar".
