Gorham Mountain

A low coastal ridge with moderate trails, offering views of Ocean Path and the beach along the way; family-friendly.

Gorham Mountain rises about 160 m. Starting from the Gorham Mountain parking area on the park loop road, the round trip is about 3 km with gentle grades. Along the way you can detour to the cave path beneath Cadillac Cliffs. From the ridge the views are wide, taking in the beach, Great Head, The Beehive and the sea. From the summit you can also connect to the Beehive Trail or Bowl Trail to form a loop, making it an ideal alternative if the Beehive feels too thrilling.
