Join MYA for an amazing hiking and picnicking day in Acadia before the crowds take over! Adventurers will head out on the beautiful Gorham Mountain Loop, pause for a yummy picnic on the beach then head over to coastal Great Head Trail for an under two miler getting in plenty of yoga along the way…
Adventurers will meet up at Sand Beach and head over to the Gorham Mountain Trail for a 3.5 loop trail with amazing views and plenty of spots for yoga. This is a hike with some rocky terrain, we’ll take our time through any rough patches. After our way down from the stunning summit, we’ll stroll the Ocean Path to get us back to the beach.
MYA will offer up a gourmet vegetarian picnic to nourish minds, bodies & spirits. We’ll all relax, lounge in the sand, and soak in the views. Maybe play around with our cartwheels and handstands in the forgiving sand. After we’ve all had time to properly digest, we’ll head over to the Great Head Trail.
The 1.4 mile Great Head Trail is rated as moderate and winds around the perimeter of the small peninsula. The hike begins with some incline, slowly we go when it’s steep, but then the trail levels out. Pink granite cliffs will reveal themselves and we’ll keep our eyes open for views of Beehive off in the distance. There are perfect spots along this hike to simply sit and breath it all in.
If adventurers are simply done after the picnic, no worries, this second hike is optional!
