At 780 feet, it’s only about half the height of Acadia National Park’s Cadillac Mountain, its better-known neighbor to the northeast, but Mount Battie, in Camden Hills State Park, Maine (207-236-3109, www.maine.gov/doc/parks/index.html), has the advantages of smaller crowds and less fog through which to check out its amazing 360-degree views. Drive to the summit or hike it in 45 minutes to an hour – either way, you’ll be treated to the warm jewel tones of the foliage against the cool blues of Penobscot Bay and the ocean on one side and several inland lakes on the other. You can see Rockland, Rockport, Camden, Isleboro, Vinalhaven, Isle au Haut, and, oh yeah, Cadillac Mountain – which may be even more impressive from afar.
