A steep and rocky hike to the top of two barren granite peaks, affording great views.

This gravel sand bar to Bar Island is open for about 3 hours during low tide. Once on the island, another mile of trail leads to the highest point on the island for a nice view back at the village of Bar Harbor and Frenchman Bay.

The hike from Sieur de Monts to Sand Beach via Beachcroft and Champlain Mountain trails features panoramic coastal mountain views of Mount Desert Island, Frenchman Bay, and the outer islands. The Beachcroft Trail is an historic memorial pathway, constructed in 1915.

This hike traverses a forested valley before ascending Beech Mountain, where there is a fire tower and views of Long Pond, the western side of Mount Desert Island, the ocean and outlying islands.

A climb up steep ledges rewards hikers with a fire tower spectacular, with a more gentle descent down on switchbacks through the woods.

The Beehive is an exposed, iron rung climb. It is not recommended for small children, people with a fear of heights or in wet weather. Good traction shoes are advised. Those who are up for this challenging hike are rewarded with outstanding views.

Mostly wooded with occasional views, the trails and forest glades of Bernard Mountain offer a quiet respite from the more crowded of Acadia's trails to the east.

The North Ridge provides views not only out to the waters of Frenchman Bay and its islands, but offers a unique view of the Bar Harbor village from above.

This trail provides outstanding views of the ocean and outlying islands from the bare and exposed southern ridge of Cadillac Mountain.

A half-mile loop circling the top of Cadillac Mountain provides an easy way for those who have driven to the summit to see the spectacular views afforded from the mountaintop.
