Huguenot Head, Champlain Mountain
Bar Harbor, ME
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The Beachcroft Trail
Route: Beachcroft Trail, herd path
Trail was dry. Well built trail up to Huguenot Head cliffs, but rugged ascent to Champlain. Very nice views from the on-trail cliffs on Huguenot Head. Took a faint herd path to the highpoint, which also had some views.
Lupine in bloom at the trailhead.
