Description

The beehive loop hike at Acadia National Park is a short & steep hike with a few exciting (scary) sections where iron rungs are used to climb up the side of the mountain This loop is only about a mile and half long with a 650 foot ascent and it should take just about an hour to complete.

You'll want to ascend the beehive only, as descending the beehive would be dangerous and you would cause congestion on the very narrow trail.

Start at The Bowl trail head across the street from the parking lot for Sand Beach.

This is a very busy parking lot in the summer and the fall, so I suggest parking at the visitor center and taking the free shuttle to the Sand Beach parking lot.
