My Favorite Hike 🥾
My favorite hike at Acadia National Park is by far the Great Head Trail. This trail is less crowded, has ocean views all around, is a mix of easy & moderate sections, and also gives you the option to go to Sand Beach if you would like to stop. #hiking🥾 #maine #acadianationalpark

This is one of my favorite summits in Acadia National Park and for good reason, it’s probably also the most famous + most visited spot! The Cadillac Mountain summit has one of the most breathtaking views in Acadia National Park. If you hike to the top, there are multiple trails you can take!
