Complete guide to hiking the Precipice Trail in Acadia National Park, comparing this hike to Angels Landing. Hike completed on 10/5/22 (mistakingly wrote 10/3 on the video). People usually complete this full 2.5 mile loop in 2-3 hours. From the National Park Service: "Rising over 1,000 feet in 0.9 miles, the Precipice Trail requires physical and mental strength. It is a rugged, non-technical climb with open cliff faces and iron rungs. Upon reaching the summit of Champlain Mountain, climbers are rewarded with impressive views."

CORRECTION: I stated this trail can take up to 5 hours - that's really at a "snail's pace" (which I did due to the filming). However, the average hiker can complete the 2.5 mile loop in 2-3 hours.

Thank you for being so inspiring! I think this is a beautiful hike and looks like a lot of fun so definitely on the list. I love a good rock scramble. There are so many places in Southern California that you can get a good scramble in and those are my favorite hiking trails. Love that the trail isn’t too crowded. I tend to be a late afternoon/evening hiker so I usually start trails later in the day and often see a bunch of people leaving but not many ascending. It makes it way less crowded but you are definitely on a time crunch as well and need to know when the sun sets and be prepared in case you miss you mark and it gets a little dark. Still miss the heat of the day and peak traffic and that’s fine by me. I am a petite woman so when scrambling I always need to find my own path and make sure I have a good pair of gripping shoes on to ensure I can find the right footholds and handholds. It can turn a less technical hike into a more technical hike because often these trails are built for taller people and my arms and legs do not have the reach! Other trails that are not marked and completely a go out and find your own adventure have similar challenges. Always remember with different body types you need to find paths that work for you. Just because you are hiking with a buddy doesn’t mean you can take the same route safely.

May 12 2024 my wife and I did the beehive and after hours of walking all of Champlain mountain we were looking for a trail to get us down as we were at the top. Wife’s all trails app kept showing a trail going down with the blue marks , but it was literally right off the cliff. No signs or nothing saying not to use. So ok we go, 3 hours later we finally get down to the parking lot “white knuckled of course”. And lo and behold there were signs all over saying don’t use , it’s too dangerous, you’ll die and all sorts of things !. No joke!!!!! We’ve got the lottery to go up to the top of angels landing , did Spencer’s trail in Glen canyon and tarantula mating season on the trails in Taos New Mexico at the Rio gorge. This was by far the scariest hike we ever did

Might have messed up on the dates I posted - actually they were two days apart. Have a super week!

Along the lines of most scenic and most scary trail I’m curious what is the most physically demanding trail you’ve done and a couple runner ups. Happy Easter to you and your family.

Hey David, would have to say Half Dome, Grand Canyon and Mt. St. Helen's. Hope you had a blessed day!

How does this trail compare to the dome in Yosemite that you and your daughter hiked?

Less dangerous, way easier in regards to distance and elevation. This is a great trail, but really not in the class with Half Dome.

I honestly don’t know how one can compare these two trails. Fall 100’ or 700’ you’re just as dead. As for the beauty of the surroundings, they are both exceptional. Some like ocean views, some like red rock.

Yeah, falls will end with the same result, but imho, the chance of falling/exposed ledges at the Precipice seems less intimidating. Kind of answering it from "fear factor" perspective.

So we cannot hike this is the summer du to it being nesting season?!?! Is any part of it open? 😭

Yeah, check the NP website for the dates when the trail is open. I believe it's closed most of the summer due to the falcon nesting. As an alternative, I would recommend "The Beehive" trail, a smaller but nice alternative.

What camera drone does one hypothetically use to get the aerials you are getting

Actually, drones are illegal in all the NP's. Those shots were taken with a 360 camera, fisheye on a 10-foot "disappearing" selfie stick.

That did actually look pretty scary. Okay, so it's not as scary as Angels Landing, but of all the trails you've done, what is the second-scariest, assuming that Angels Landing is the scariest? Half Dome? Texas Highpoint Trail? Bright Angel Trail? Mt. St. Helens summit?

As far as scariest in order: Angels Landing, Half Dome, Precipice. None of the rest were really that fearful.

More or less difficult than Jordan Cliff’s?

I think angels landing is prettier. As for the degree of difficulty that placer might be a little more difficult
