This was my favorite hike in Acadia during this last trip. The Jordan Pond Path is a loop hike along the shore of Jordan Pond. The trail is around 3 miles long. I had perfect weather for this hike. There was hardly a cloud in the sky and the temperature was perfect in the […]
This is a very convenient and easy hike to do from the road and gives access to the rugged coast line. Located in the Southwest Harbor area, parking is on Route 102A. There is not much parking, maybe enough for 8-10 cars. The trail is relatively flat and is about 1.3 miles round trip. […]
The Bar Island Trail is, of course, on Bar Island. A small Island just off the shore line of Bar Harbor. The island is only accessible during low tide when you can cross on an exposed sand bar. This gives you about 4 hours to explore the island, which is part of Acadia National […]
Water Canyon Falls can be seen as you hike up the Mossy Canyon Trail. While it is not very high, it is impressive because of the surrounding colorful cliffs and being in a typically dry area. At the Mossy Cave Trail split, turn right. You begin to ascend a steep hill and rise above […]
This trail is one of the few you can hike in Bryce Canyon National Park without having to pay the park access fee. The trail head is located on Route 12, well before the entrance to the park. The trail head has a pit toilet and interpretive signs. The trail gives access to Mossy […]
This is a 1.8 mile through hike starting at Sunrise Point and descending over 300 feet into the canyon. The trail is steep in sections but the terrain is even with little to no rocks. The trail winds down the canyon working its way through the Hoodoos and passing through several man-made passages. You […]
The Great Head is a small peninsula just north of Sand Beach. The western shore of the peninsula faces Sand Beach. There is a loop hike that goes along the east end of the peninsula to the Great Head, which is a rocky outcropping into the ocean. The trail returns along the western shore […]
The Dorr Mountain North Ridge Trail is much different than the South Ridge trail. While the south ridge trail has great views and a gradual ascent/descent over a slick rock trail, the North Ridge Trail is much steeper, and very rocky. Most of the trail does not have great views until you approach the […]
This trail starts for the Kane Path. It is not accessible from it’s own trail head. The trail is about 1.3 miles long and ends on the summit of Dorr Mountain. The trail is a steady climb. Most of the way is exposed with only some brush and small pines lining the way. Bates […]
