Beech Cliff Trail

Beech Cliff Trail is a roughly 1.8-mile out-and-back foot trail in Acadia National Park, Maine. It climbs 480 ft to a high point of 531 ft. Difficulty: easy, from the NPS hiking-rating formula. That is the full hike: the mapped trail line covers only 0.8 mi of it, so don't plan from the map line alone. The figure is for the Park Service's “Hike Beech Cliff Trail with Island Explorer Bus” hike, which uses this trail.
