In reply to Amy Piper. All types of hikers can do The Beehive! Don't be convinced otherwise :) A half hour hike though is to be expected with seasoned hikers who have the stamina to do the quick ascent! The 1.5 mile loop trail averages just under an hour across a broad group of hikers. Thank you regarding the images!

I am not an experienced hiker; however, I am surprised that such a difficult hike can be as quick as 30 minutes. Your images are stunning!

In reply to Sage Scott. Beehive Trail is a great one to do for those in a rush! It is short distance, quick, and you get spectacular views! That is the exact reason I did it when I did. I only had a short amount of time to hike before I had to go tend to my daughter again in Bar Harbor! I can only pawn off my daughter to my parents for so long :)

In reply to Dania. Take the Bowl Trail up and get the same summit pictures. Who is going to know the difference of how you got up there? The views are worth it :) Be careful if you take the shortcut though from the Bowl Trail with the little ones! It does get very steep in either direction!

In reply to Kavita Favelle. Absolutely! Be sure to bring boots (or other footwear) that has good grips! You will definitely need it for the scrambling and iron rungs! Totally worth it for the views though if you can get through it :)

In reply to Renee. Thank you! Totally worth it! The views on the majority of the hike up are amazing! All of the stunning views made the wait for the rescue ahead of me a little more bearable :)

We had a very short time to explore Acadia National Park when we visited, so it was fun to climb the Beehive Trail via your post and pics. Thanks for sharing!

The views on BeeHive Trail at Acadia are fantastic! I’d probably end up doing the Bowl Trail with my kids since it is a easier.

Gosh, it looks like a deceptively tough trail, good to read your notes on how hard of a hike it actually is. When you need to scramble up rocks and iron rungs, it’s definitely not for the faint-hearted or those without stamina and skill. The views look epic though!
