Toufeer M. on The Beehive Loop Trail
Awesome trail! Would rank it as moderate to hard
Great easy hike. Perfect with our 10 month old in a stroller. I'd recommend a jogging stroller with larger tires though.
Tough trail in places, I would do it again.
I would definitely define this as a moderate hike. Not too steep, too high, or too long. If you are new to hiking, it seems like this would be a good starter trail to use to gauge your physical abilities before hitting some of the more strenuous trails. I cannot comment on the views from the mountain, as it was foggy and we were walking against a whitewashed backdrop, but the portion along the Ocean Path was lovely. [Hiking experience - I am brand new to hiking - this was my first trip outside of nature walks of the midwest.]
On a foggy trip with limited to nonexistent views from the mountain tops, this trail offered spectacular scenery for the duration of the walk. It’s definitely an easy trail, but a welcomed break from the more physically challenging hikes in Acadia. The only drawback is that it runs right along the road.
