Due to early darkness, slick conditions, and rapidly changing temperatures, rangers do not advise that visitors climb some of Acadia's most challenging signature trails with iron rung ladders and steep stone steps this time of year. Your safety and enjoyment depend most on your own good judgement. The choices you make can put park rescue staff and volunteers at greater risk. Visitor Jonathan Tristao, of San Mateo, California, shares this video from the Beehive Trail almost a month ago on Oct 12.
