Precipice Trail is a 3.2-mile out-and-back foot trail in Acadia National Park, Maine. Difficulty: moderate, estimated from distance. That is the full hike: the mapped trail line covers only 1.58 mi of it, so don't plan from the map line alone. The figure is for the Park Service's “Hike Precipice Loop” hike, which uses this trail.
