CLIFF TRAIL - The Best Ocean Views!?! - Isle au Haut - ACADIA NATIONAL PARK - Hiking Western Head

*CLIFF TRAIL Video Guide* Possibly the best coastal views in Acadia are on this Isle au Haut trail! If views and an accessible manicured trail are what you are after... CLIFF TRAIL is the best you will get on Isle au Haut!!! "Manicured" being a relative term as Isle au Haut is the more rugged of the 4 Acadia National Park areas: MDI, Bar Island, Schoodic & IaH. If a picture is worth 1000 words...what's a video worth? *KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE TRAIL* see the Terrain, Trailheads, Views, and Intersecting Trails... NATURE!!! LIKE or SUBSCRIBE - I'd like for you to do either, I'd LOVE for you to do both! CLIFF TRAIL is arrived at via Western Head Road which can be taken immediately from the Boat Landing at Duck Harbor, or via GOAT TRAIL after hiking on other parts of the island. The flat grass, dirt & gravel road leads mildly to the trailhead. From the trailhead pass through prickly berry stalks to arrive at wood tiered dirt steps that rise to the clifftop trail. The early clifftop trail has incredible views and stable footing. After this, a stone step and granite rock descent leads to a lower cliff. Here the trail winds in and out of trees, exiting multiple times to reveal coastal views. Descending once more, it arrives at the coastline where a stone cove will inevitably have a variety of stray fishing gear. Next, the hike turns inland into woods with trees covered with moss & lichen finally exiting on another stone beach. Turning inland once more the trail rises up, teasing another coastal glimpse but not revealing it. Arrival at WESTERN HEAD TRAIL ends this trail, but a short side trail down to Western Ear gives an incredible coastal view from water-level, and offers fun wandering options at low tide over toa and around Western Ear. I hope my efforts make your watching experience AND your next visit to ACADIA NATIONAL PARK ... wicked awesome! FRIENDLY REMINDER: no matter the difficulty, hiking has risks... HAVE A PLAN... the best times are had when planned properly. Alternate, shorter routes than what you intend to hike are abundant in Acadia... your hiking plan can include them as contingencies. Injuries can happen, let others know your planned route and timeframe... cell service is spotty in Acadia National Park. Remember: know your limits so you can push them, and DEFINITELY REMEMBER: what goes up must come down which includes you... AND if you enjoy the tour, your guide does accept likes, subscriptions and comments... (an option of leaving a tip: ie a link for actual tips through patreon is likely coming soonish). Be Safe! Live your purpose, change your world... Share your knowledge, change the world...

I can only assume it's the same one... and he shows up at the best places... but I think he's staying on IaH to be with Ginger... quite the ant, that one... and Fred straight climbed up like Romeo to his Juliet... keep your eyes peeled for other appearances as this was the final hike of the project... he definitely appeared earlier... we'll see where as I continue to edit.
