Beech Mountain
Mount Desert, ME
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The Beech Mountain Loop
Route: Beech Mountain Loop
Nice loop trail - both segments have excellent views on their upper halves. Fire tower was closed, at least early in the morning, so I could only walk up one or two flights of stairs. Directional views otherwise on summit, but excellent views from the trail prior.
