I’ve done this trail. It’s very pretty. 🙂 This is the trail I foolishly thought would be a stroll in the woods. My friend and I wore flip-flops. NEVER again. We made it, but I look forward to doing it in proper trail shoes. Acadia looks tame from the loop road, but it’s got some very challenging terrain.
