Popular, easy and beautiful hiking trail in Maine🦞

Great Head trail is one of my favorite trails in the world famous Acadia National Park! I was blown away by the gorgeous views of the ocean and how bright + blue the ocean water at Sand Beach looked from up on the trail!

I would label this trail as easy. It’s more of a walking loop and is not very steep! The full loop is 1.6 miles and has plenty of spots to stop and enjoy the beautiful ocean views!

This is one of my favorite hikes in the summer because of how vibrant the colors are in the forest, 🌳 but also in the water! 🌊 It goes on for miles and is quite flat, so it’s easy to do with the entire family! It’s just an hour outside of Anchorage and there’s even a few camp grounds connected

An easy hiking trail in Columbia River Gorge!
I think this is now one of my favorite hiking trails because it is less than 2.5 miles round trip, and the last waterfall has a 300-foot elevation gain. The first three waterfalls are super easy to access and family-friendly. #columbiarivergorge #easyhiking #oregonhikes #thisisoregon
