- Waterproof - Tear-Resistant - Topographic Map Preserving almost 50 000 acres of islands and
peninsula along the jagged north-central coast of Maine Acadia is home to more than two dozen
mountains including the highest point on the United States' Atlantic coast Cadillac Mountain
(1 530 feet). Acadia has 158 miles of scenic hiking trails 45 miles of rustic carriage roads
and 33 miles of historic motor roads all winding through an iconic geologic and ecologic
landscape. Hikes range from relaxing walks exploring tidepools along rugged coastlines to steep
climbs up iron rung ladders leading to expansive island views. The Acadia National Park Day
Hikes Topographic Map Guide contains detailed maps for 18 of Acadia's finest day hikes. It
includes well-known hikes and some off-the-beaten-path trails. They range from easy strolls to
strenuous climbs selected to give you a sampling of all the park has to offer. Together they
cover more than 60 miles of adventures. One-third of the selected hikes are less than 3 miles
long two-thirds are less than 5 miles and one hike is 6 miles long. Each of the 18 maps
include directions to the trailhead the total distance to complete the hike and an estimate
of the degree of difficulty. Also provided are elevations of key points on the trail an
elevation profile for the hike and a calculation of the hike's total elevation gain. Concise
trail descriptions will help you find the hikes that best suit your interests conditioning
and available time. Every Trails Illustrated map is printed on Backcountry Tough waterproof
tear-resistant paper. A full UTM grid is printed on the map to aid with GPS navigation. Every
map purchase helps support the National Geographic Society an impact driven nonprofit
organization with global reach that uses the power of science exploration education and
storytelling to illuminate and protect the wonder of our world. Map Scale = 1:31 680 Folded
