The Beehive in Acadia
Many people first catch sight of The Beehive from the Sand Beach parking lot, located just south of the Park Loop Road Entrance Station on the eastern side of Mount Desert Island. Although The Beehive stands at a modest height of 520 feet (158 meters), its breathtaking coastal setting more than compensates for any lack of elevation. A fairly steep hiking trail, rated as strenuous, begins approximately 100 feet before the access road to the Sand Beach parking lot. This trail ascends the eastern face of The Beehive, offering stunning views of the scenery below. Alternatively, the summit can also be reached via the Gorham Mountain Trail. (view Hiking Trails)
