"The Acadia Full 30". Explore the unique coastal highlands of Acadia National Park in Maine. This challenge brings you to the top of all 30 peaks lying in the Mount Desert Island area of the park. Incredibly, all 30 peaks have maintained trails to the summit. The extensive, well-maintained trail network makes it possible to summit many peaks in a day and soak in the ocean views from every vantage point. Bonus style points if you manage to canoe/kayak to any trailheads. (And remember to hike Cadillac, not drive!)

Highlights
"Windy and low cloud cover kind of day. We came up from the west, dropped down to a trailhead, hiked over Knight, back down to a trailhead, back up another trail then over Knight again, then over Bernard on the way out. Both Knight and Bernard were in the woods. " — newenglandwarrior • May 19, 2023
"Hiked it a second time on our hike of Knight and Bernard. Since we dropped all the way to the trailhead, it does count for a second ascent. Unable to record it as such so I had to make a new entry for this ascent. " — newenglandwarrior • May 19, 2023

"After our hike of Parkman, Gilmore, and Bald, we headed over to hike Norumbega. Steep hike up for our tired bodies. I thought there were views up there but I was mistaken. We did a loop hike back to the car. " — newenglandwarrior • May 18, 2023
"Managed to talk my family into hiking during school vacation. Took along some of the kids' friends who have never been before. So I took them on a real adventure! Great day out. " — mikewilliamsjr • Apr 18, 2023
