Acadia Hike & Picnic Adventure

  • Maine Yoga Adventures Orono, Maine 04473 (map)

Join MYA for terrific hiking on the quiet side of Acadia National Park. We’ll set off on Beech Mountain Trail taking in a 1.2 mile loop, getting in sporadic yoga & meditation practices along the way. Afterwards adventurers will enjoy a gourmet vegetarian picnic at Echo Lake. Then we’ll get in the Beech Cliff Trail to round out our adventure.

Beech Mountain Trail has a short and slightly strenuous up but it is not too rough as it takes us directly to the summit under the majestic old Beech Mountain fire tower. We can walk up the first set of steps to take in views for days, the far off majesty of Sargent Mountain and Acadia Mountain a bit closer. To complete the loop we’ll take the West Ridge Trail along the cliffs that offer the beauty of Long Pond.

Next up is picnic time at Echo Lake where MYA will unpack some fabulous vegetarian eats to nourish our 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.

Adventurers can walk moments away from the sand and sparkling water to hike Beech Cliff Trail, 1.4 miles, about an hour in length with a few sets of iron ladders towards the beginning. The views are absolutely incredible at quite a few spots along the way including the short loop around the top. This is also a great trail for yoga!

The good news is that this adventure is placed within shoulder season; let’s go support Acadia National Park before the tourists do :)

Don’t miss out on a wonderful opportunity in Acadia to get outside and hike, connect with nature, eat yummy food, and spend quality time with fellow adventure enthusiasts!
