Southwest Harbor
🫐Lots of wild blueberries to eat
🌅Amazing sunset spot on the gradual trail
↩️Go clockwise to save your knees
Climb four iron ladders up Beech Cliff for sweeping Echo Lake views without the usual Acadia crowds. The 1.2-mile loop is steep but short, and you can skip the ladders on the way down.
Short steep hike
Four ladder climbs
Echo Lake views
Quiet park side
