Dorr Mountain is the second highest peak in Acadia National Park and is located on Mount Desert Island. It is a fairly short hike 1.1 miles, but a very steep hike. Dorr Mountain is named for
GEORGE DORR the father of Acadia National Park.
The trail climbs up hundreds of solid granite steps that have been carved by hand many years ago! There are multiple trails that will take you through the 4 different zones on the mountain. The zones include Hardwood Forest, Hemlock, Mixed Pine, Birch Grove, and Alpine.
You will start to see beautiful views of the Ocean within a 1/4 mile!

We made it! Wow what a view!
Saved to future generations as it has been to us, in the wild primeval beauty of the nature it exhibits, of ancient rocks and still more ancient sea, with infinite detail of life and landscape interest between, the spirit and mind of man will surely find in it in the years and centuries to come an inspiration and a means of growth as essential to them ever and anon as are fresh air and sunshine to the body.- George B. Dorr
