Get in on a Saturyay like no other - MYA is taking on the precipice trail in Acadia National Park! The trail is strenuous but the trail is magnificent, a true beauty full of ladders and ridges with views for days (when it isn’t foggy)!
Champlain Mountain has some of the most impressive cliffs as one of the highest mountains in the park. The Precipice Trail is a breathtaking trail that heads up these steep cliffs, navigating the various tight pathways and rock scrambles. Numerous iron rungs, ladders, handrails, and wooden bridges will help adventurers at the more difficult sections. With a name like "Precipice Trail," you know this is the most brilliant exhilarating hike in the park!
Adventurers are looking at a massively rewarding 4-5 hour long hike; one mile for Precipice Trail to summit of Champlain Mountain with an elevation gain of 850 feet; 2.6 miles for a complete loop hike. Yes, we’ll take plenty of breaks, drink lots of water and bring along snacks to keep us going - the point is to enjoy it, breathe and take in all of the beauty. We’ll find a sweet spot on top for some yoga.
Post hike we’ll get into a super yummy vegetarian picnic at lovely sand beach! We’ll relax and enjoy all of the goodness from a challenging hike. Please know that adventurers with a fear of heights may not want to take on such a beast but if you’re up for it with hikers bursting with positive energy, enthusiasm and a helping hand, perhaps you’d like to join us. Reach out to Holly (text/call 207-299-0082) with any questions.
