People have been enjoying the views from the top of Cadillac Mountain for a very long time. The Native Americans who lived on Mount Desert Island up to 5000 years ago used foot paths to travel to the mountain's summit. In the mid-1800's, people used horse-drawn wagons or walked up a dirt road to the top. In the late 1800's, a cog railway was built. Click here to see a photograph of the railroad.
