Pop-Up Adventure: Hike Acadia Mountain

Join MYA this Saturday for a wicked last minute beautiful hike to the summit of Acadia Mountain in Acadia National Park! We'll get in stunning views from the summit, spontaneous yoga and afterwards, super yummy vegetarian food at Echo Lake Beach…

Adventurers will carpool as much as possible and gather at the Acadia Mountain trailhead in Acadia, along route 102 across from Echo Lake. The moderately strenuous hike is a little less than three mile loop, just a bit of scrambling in spots with gorgeous views. We’ll take our time, drinking water, eating snacks, and soaking up the natural beauty. Some spontaneous yoga can happen along the way.

After the mountain visit, adventurers will grab some snacks and head down the bluffs trail to enjoy a quick dip of toes in the lake. Our adventure will then continue over to Echo Lake Beach just down the road aways where MYA will spread out the vegetarian food for yummy relaxation time. Any daring souls are welcome to bring their bathing suit and dive in, the outside temps should be high 60s with mostly sunny skies but the water temp, well, that’s another thing entirely. If we have the energy left, we’ll get in a yoga practice on the soft sand :)

Spring Fever Pop-Up Hiking Adventure

Heads ups, I changed the date from Sunday to sunny Saturday!

MYA is so ready to get on the trails at Acadia before all the tourists do! It’s spring and that means fabulous spring hiking in Maine’s National Park; this time adventurers will take on Sargent Mountain with stunning views and even a waterfall along the way…

Adventurers are looking at a 4.5 mile loop hike along the Hadlock Brook Trail, up to the summit and over to the Maple Spring Trail back down. We’ll come prepared with microspikes in case of an icy patch or two. The beginning of the trail is a slow, gradual climb alongside the brook and after roughly half a mile, the trail reaches the famous waterfall bridge and the Around-Mountain Carriage Road, its skewed arch perfectly frames the beautiful Hadlock Falls, one of the few waterfalls in the park. The hike will get a bit more intense with a steadier climb post falls but no worries, we’ll take our time breathing in the beauty (plenty of water and snack breaks!). At the summit we’ll go for some relaxation and a yoga flow, the length of which will be very weather dependent.

To head down we’ll hop on the maple ridge, a lesser used magical trail that travels alongside a stream as well. Please note, if this trail is closed, there are other options to bring us down :) Lovely portions of the carriage trail will be visited along with bridges, one of which is the hemlock bridge, another beauty. Adventurers will enjoy the stream crossings and the glacial formations along the way.

After hiking adventurers will enjoy some vegetarian food, feel free to bring along your fav beverage.

Let’s celebrate spring with a hike to bring in the season!

Cost: $45 including a gorgeous hike, a yoga practice, yummy food, good vibes

Precipice & Picnic: Pop-Up Hiking Adventure

  • Precipice Trail, Acadia National Park (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

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.

Beehive & Bubbles: Pop-Up Adventure

Join MYA for a last minute hiking adventure with a yummy vegetarian picnic by the sea in Acadia National Park! Adventurers will take on the fabulous Beehive and Bubbles hikes with lots of lovely views and yoga everywhere we can…

We’re getting an early start to avoid the crowds to take on the Beehive, the majestic peak that overlooks Sand Beach in Acadia. The hike is thrilling, swift, and definitely satisfying but is not recommended for adventurers with a fear of heights (please know that it’s helpful to hike this with adventure buddies, lots of positive energy & good vibes to get you thru). We’ll head straight up the steep south face of the peak with granite steps, iron rungs to climb, and several handrails for exposed rock scrambling sections. Once to the top, all are rewarded with incredible views of Sand Beach, Great Head, and the surrounding area. The good news is that this hike is only two miles total and you don’t have to go down the way you come up! We’ll relax up top and return via the easy going bowl trail, pausing at the beautiful lake nestled between the surrounding peaks. Let’s hope for bright sunny skies and that we won’t get fogged in :)

We’ll follow up our first hike with a picnic at lovely Sand Beach. Adventurers can dip their toes in that super cold Maine water! With happy bellies, we’ll make our way to our second hike, The Bubbles. The hike begins on the Bubbles Divide trailhead and we’ll make our way to the infamous Bubble Rock then head out to the North Bubble Trail (the less busy option) for some great views of Jordan Pond, Pemetic & Sargent Mountains, and the Cranberry Isles. We’ll enjoy a few minor scrambling sections but it relents quickly enough. We can take the carriage road to the Jordan Pond Carry Trail or work our hike differently so that we can experience a bit more of the pond and/or South Bubble. Regardless, we’re looking at a 2-3 hour hike with breathtaking views :)

It’s about time MYA hit Beehive & Bubbles with adventurers (and sweet Sand Beach) - don’t miss out on a super fun day in Acadia with views for days hiking, yoga, and yummy food!

Cost: $40. Payment is available via VENMO (@maineyogaadventures_), or add to cart below…

Please know that if it is raining, we’ll have to reschedule :)

Hike & Picnic Pop-Up Adventure

Working on rescheduling! Sorry for any inconvenience…

Join MYA for a last minute sundayfunday hike and picnic by the sea in fabulous Acadia National Park! We’ll get in sweet hiking with lots of lovely views, yoga anywhere we can, and eating yummy vegetarian food (ice cream for the big finish)…

Adventurers will take on the challenging but relatively short Schoodic Head Trail (Anvil Trail) that runs from Blueberry Hill Road to the summit of Schoodic Head, a small mountain. It begins at an elevation of 70 feet and ends at 442 feet, a climb of approximately 375 feet in .7 mile. While steep grades make for a good workout, it’s the rocks and roots that this trail a bit treacherous; adventurers will be paying close attention to their footing :) I recommend hiking poles if you like them for extra support.

The round trip hike is 2.6 miles. We may want to get in a little extra, hiking over to the views on the East Trail and working our way back on the nice & easy Alder Trail that glides inland from the rocky shore along a grassy path among fruit trees and alder bushes. It truly is an enjoyable hike with some great bursts of moss, rocky ledges and fab views. MYA won’t be in a rush, there’s nature to breathe and soak in. Forest bathing with a rocky challenge thrown into the mix.

Post hike we’ll get in some yoga stretches (we’ll have gotten in a few poses on rock slabs along the way) with nice views of the coast and then it’s time to eat and relax! MYA will lay out a hearty vegetarian picnic for all to savor. If adventurers have a sweet tooth, Me and Ben’s Dairy Cream will be open in Birch Harbor, a small village in the town of Gouldsboro, for a tasty treat!

Rhino the chug and Holly loved this hike back in 2018 and are psyched to share it with adventurers! Yes it is moderate and a little challenging here and there but we’ll take our time and have fun with it. Don’t miss out on the goodness of this pop-up sundayfunday (rhino will be there for pat pats!) …

Join MYA for the perfect wicked last minute sundayfunday hiking & picnic adventure! We’ll be taking on beautiful Black Mountain in Sullivan and a lovely sandy beach for yoga and yummy food (and maybe a dip in the water!)…

Adventurers will meet up at the Big Chief Trailhead and take the sweet climb up for spectacular views. This is a moderate hike with the trails winding up, around, and over granite ledges - plan on maneuvering around roots and rocks.

There are excellent rock slabs that are perfect for a yoga practice, a snack, and perhaps a summit beer. Then we’ll continue our hike towards Black Mountain's western summit and Black Mountain Cliffs, the connector trail will lead us back to the junction above the Big Chief trailhead where the hike began. Adventurers can expect to log four miles or so. We’ll be taking our time immersing ourselves in the natural world; pausing for water breaks, deep breaths, and flora & fauna sightings.

Off the moderate hiking trail we’ll take a brief drive to connect up to an easy path thru the woods (0.5 miles), that will lead adventurers out to beautiful Schoodic beach, a sandy oasis on the shores of Schoodic Bay. MYA will bring along a vegetarian picnic to feast upon whilst enjoying the view. There may be some yoga in the sand as well!
