Dorr Mountain
About
Dorr Mountain is a summit of 1,262 feet in Acadia National Park in Maine, about 2 miles from Bar Harbor. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 79°F with lows near 60°F, and the summit sits higher than that station, so expect it to run a little cooler. The Dorr Mountain North Ridge Trail starts just 0.1 mile away, and the Cadillac-Dorr and Cadillac Summit Loop hikes are each about 0.4 mile off. Climbers can find the Precipice, also known as The South Wall, about 1.4 miles away.
