Gorham Mountain Details
A 3.5-mile moderate loop hike when combined with Ocean Path. Located in Acadia National Park, Gorham Mountain is one of the busiest trails due to its easy ascent. With a summit of only 525 feet, the top offers views of the surrounding Acadia National Park landscape, peaks, and coastline. The end of summer is a favorite time to visit as the wild blueberries sprout along the paths, but it's the sunset and sunrise views that are truly one of a kind experience and will leave visitors with breathtaking views.
