Great hike, just the right amount of challenging. Best view in Acadia!

Took this trail from Penobscot Summit. Easy, walk past a small pond, beautiful views along the trail and at the summit.
I love this mountain. The pines against the bouldering hills looks like something out of a movie. Beautiful landscape!
Easy to follow even at night
Phenomenal, classic Maine scenery in a nutshell. Highly recommend!
First time in Acadia and this was a good trail to hike. The trail is well marked going up the mountain, but not as good going down. We almost got lost halfway down the mountain due to no markers, but overall a great hike!
We did the Spring Trail to Penobscot Mountain and Sargent Mountain - Sargent was one of our favorite summits in Acadia. Did the hike with my sons, ages 7 and 9, so it's definitely doable with young kids. The trails are really well marked.
Not as much scrambling and rock climbing as Beehive, which was more fun, but the views were absolutely spectacular.
