Cadillac Mountain is the first place to see the sunrise from October to May, it sit in Mount Desert Island as a part of Acadia National Park, a must go if you are ever in Maine, trust me.
Zach and I woke up around 4 am probably before then since I was excited, drove for about two hours we weren't worried about traffic because in Maine there is honestly never any, even in our bigger cities Bangor and Portland the traffic is never bad compared to growing up in the DC area, once we got to the mountain all we had to do was drive up to the top where they have a parking area and you are right there when you get out of your car.
Now we went at the end of November and it was freezing cold and windy, I mean I had wool socks, a long sleeve shirt, sweatshirt, LL Bean jacket and a blanket and still was freezing. It wasn't that crowded but there where more people then I expected to see for this time of the year, in the summer it's packed so if you plan on going be prepared for that.
There is something so magical about being with the person you love getting to see the sun before anyone else in the United States it was as if the world had stopped for a minute, one of those times you could relive every day.
We where too cold to stay after the sun came up, plus we went to bed at midnight from surprising my dad at the airport. If you are ever in Maine add this to one of the things you have to do. Even if it's the summer and it's technically not the first place to see the sunrise it still will be breath taking.
