Tired of hiking books that list the same crowded spots? Wondering which trails are actually worth your limited time? Want a guide that helps you explore not just survive your trip?
This isn't another recycled trail list. This is the guidebook I wish I had on my first trip to Acadia.
Hi, I'm Dominic J. Miller. The first time I set foot in Acadia National Park, I followed the wrong advice and ended up on a trail too crowded to think straight and too steep for my boots. Years later and dozens of trails, conversations with locals, and missteps later I've written this guide to make sure your trip feels unforgettable for the right reasons.
Inside, you'll find 40+ handpicked hikes, sorted by region, difficulty, and vibe. From cliffside ladders with ocean views to peaceful forest loops barely marked on most maps, you'll get clear directions, honest trail descriptions, insider tips, and the best times to go.
You'll also get:
Family-friendly options that won't leave you guessing
Hidden gems only locals talk about
Maps, safety advice, packing checklists, and weather tips
Scenic hikes for sunrise, sunset, and foggy mornings
What to skip-yes, I'll tell you what isn't worth your time
Worried this book won't be different from what's already out there?
Here's the truth: Most guides recycle content. This one doesn't. I've walked every trail, talked to the rangers, and asked the locals where they go. And I wrote it for you like I would for a friend no fluff, no hype, just what works.
Whether this is your first visit or your fifth, this guide gives you everything you need to hike smart, explore deeper, and actually enjoy the park without getting overwhelmed.
