"Great for a trip to Acadia." according to Christopher D. Hill. I would recommend this to anyone hiking with their family in Acadia. The title can however be a little deceiving because not all of the hikes are "easy" but it is a good guide none the less.. "Provides Great Insight" according to J.A.S.. If you are interested in day hiking in Acadia National Park and need some insight, buy this book. It is current, detailed and provides many hiking options. It suggestions hikes for families with young children, as well as for hikers who have limited time but would like to view beautiful vistas. Also, its concise format (with easy to follow mapped routes) allows you to bring it along without adding any significant weight to your backpack.. Barely adequate Pan's Oak Get the book with all the trials, it's not much more. This one doesn't cover Schoodic Point or the carriage trails. We were at Acadia when the government shut down the National Parks (boy, would I like to review THEM), so we didn't get to do a lot of hiking. One we did do was the Acadia Mountain Trail, described as "more challenging". Maybe for a teenager. There were several 10-20 foot areas of vertical rock. It should have been rated as strenuous or difficult. Great views, yes.
