The Beehive and Sand Beach
Before taking our trip to Acadia, we looked quite a bit at trails and what else we should go visit in the park. Again, see NPS Acadia hiking info from the Acadia website and Getting Around Acadia for reference. Two trails that really caught our eye were the Precipice Trail and the Beehive/Bowl Trails. Unfortunately, the Precipice Trail is closed during much of the summer due to the presence of endangered peregrine falcons. The Beehive Trail did not disappoint though. It has steep climbs, exposed cliffs, a narrow bridge, and iron rungs. Headed back toward the bottom, you can see people heading up the cliffs of the Beehive. Here's that bridge previously pictured. You can fall right off of that thing! The hike was pretty short, as the Beehive Trail is only .8 miles. Add some time to get to the trail via the Bowl Trail and return on the Bow...
