"Champlain Mountain, at just over 1000 ft, provides stunning views of the eastern side of Mt Desert Island. It is also accessible via the Cadillac Mountain South and North Ridge Trails, but for a fun challenge try hiking the daunting Precipice Trail. The trail, which involves an exhilarating climb up the face of Champlain Mountain using iron rungs, handrails and ladders, is not for little kids or anyone with a fear of heights."
