"In Acadia National Park there are over 120 miles (193 km) of trails. The Precipice Trail is among the steepest and most dramatic. Beginning here it scales the glacier-steepened eastern of Champlain Mountain. The ocean view from the top is impressive.
Although the ascent is precipitous, climbing gear is not needed. Iron hand holds and steps of native stone are placed at strategic points. On hot days it is better to start out in the afternoon when the sun is behind the mountain. The Precipice Trail is not recommended for small children."
