This 1.6 mile round trip trail starts with a moderate grade as you leave the sand beach parking area. After a half a mile you will see a rock pile and you have the option of heading strait for the slower sloping (but less views) trail ahead of you or you can turn to the right and see the steep trail up the Beehive. If you look hard you will be able to make out some of the hikers scrambling alon...
Hike to The Bowl in Acadia NP

The trailhead is located on Park Loop Road, just across from the Sand Beach parking lot. After 0.2 miles on the Bowl Trail, you will reach a ju...

Precipice Trail of Champlain Mountain
The Precipice Trail is one of the most well known trails in Acadia, probably for its difficulty and the fact that it is along the exposed edge of Champlain Mountain. Much of this trail is more of a climb rather than a usual hike. You will have to climb and scramble over large rocks as well as climb iron rungs and ladders. Additionally, there are sections where you are just standing on a smal...
