If you’re looking for the best possible image of hiking in the American Northeast, look no further than Maine’s Acadia National Park. In these 50,000 acres of stunning hinterlands, you’ll find over 150 miles of hiking trails, ranging from rocky coastal strolls to steep leg-burners (including some wrought-iron ladder climbs). The options here are endless, but the real highlight has to be the sea-to-summit hikes. Trails like the Gorham Mountain and Beehive loops will take you across all four seasons in the span of a few hours—from the maritime-influenced shoreline, through the dense, colorful woodlands, and up to the sea-spritzed peaks. This diversity and richness of landscapes makes Acadia a top-tier hiking destination, one that’s sure to stick with you long after you leave its shores.
