My husband and I just visited Acadia N’l Park the week before the New Year 2022 and were pleasantly surprised as there was very little to no snow and mild temps: hovered around 35 degrees in the park, more wintry conditions heading back to and in Bangor. We planned to cross-country ski on the Carriage Roads criss-crossing Cadillac and surrounding mountains. We are year round cyclists and fortunately brought our bicycles. The roads are free of cars, a cyclist’s dream! We cycled to the summit and a few other carriage roads and it was serene, beautiful and almost deserted except for a couple other cyclists. We also attempted to climb the trail to the summit of Cadillac Mountain. The main road is closed to cars so you can walk up to the summit via the “ car” road but being avid hikers we chose the foot trails leading up. Due to the steep icy and rocky trail we changed our course and hiked another trail leading us to a gorge and beautiful Rocky Mountain stream passing under one of the pretty arch stone bridges in the park. My husband would have made it to the summit but I recently twisted my knee and didn’t want to push it. We can’t wait to return to this amazing park with skis next time! Thank you for this article and the gorgeous pix.
