Parks & Gardens
Beech Mountain Trail Head
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.
