Itinerary
We will meet at the Great Head Trail parking lot off Schooner Head Road in Bar Harbor. We will walk across Sand Beach ( if there are no dogs in the group). We have other options if we have dogs. From there we will hike over the the backside of the Beehive to the top of Beehive without the difficulty of the rungs. There, we will enjoy local coffee and snacks while discussing the geological wonders unique to the area. Then we can hike back to the beach where you can try a quick Atlantic dip. Depending on your ability, this hike should take 3-4 hours.
