Took the Webster-Jackson Trail to summit of Webster, then Webster Cliff Trail to summit of Jackson. Trails were muddy but manageable. No blow downs to deal with and bugs were minimal. Some snow patches. We got caught in a quick wind/rain storm at the top of Jackson, but it blew through...
Date of Hike: 4/24/2010
Trail Conditions: Dry up until Champney Falls, then gradually got a little muddier with patchy snow until reaching the switchbacks. Switchbacks up to exposed rocks was plenty of snow, that was packed down but had a soft top layer. Spotty ice/slippery but manageable...
acadia hikes
my 2 suggestions:
precipice trail - this trail trail rules, on mt champlain i think.... there are a lot of iron rungs and ladders so it can be difficult, but the views are spectacular.
as for a beach - if you're looking for picturesque (not swimming, as the water is very cold)...
