Dorr Mountain, named after George Dorr, the “Father of Acadia,” is located within Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island.
It’s the ideal mountain for hikers and climbers who want the same picturesque views as its more popular neighbor, Cadillac Mountain, but don’t want all the foot traffic.
Dorr is the second highest peak within the park, featuring several trails that pass through four different zones on the mountain; these include Hemlock, Hardwood Forest,
Alpine, and Birch Grove. As a bonus there are also two scramble trails that reach the summit, hidden trails like Homan’s Path, and a looping trail that takes visitors past a glacial gorge situated at the bottom of the mountain. Map
