Title: Precipice Trail. This sign shows a female hiker high up on a mountain climbing on an iron rung ladder. Three trail images below show other trails in the area.
Think twice before climbing the Precipice Trail—one
of Acadia’s steepest and most challenging hiking trails.
The nearly vertical 0.9-mile trail to the summit of Champlain Mountain is recommended for physically fit, experienced
hikers who do not fear heights. Hikers must be able to climb iron rungs and ladders on sheer, exposed cliffs. The trail is not suitable for small children, and dogs are prohibited. Serious injuries and fatalities have occurred on this trail.
