Robinson, Flying, and St. Sauveur Mountains Loop GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

It seems very few people come to this side of Mount Desert Island, I assume because Bar Harbor (the local tourist town) is fairly far from here. The quality of hiking here rivals the east side of Acadia National Park, Maine. There is some really interesting trail construction resulting in narrow trails that wind to the summits of the low mountains in the area. This hike traverses three of the small mountains (hills, really), Robinson, Flying, and St. Sauveur Mountains, and offers great views of the ocean, as well as some waterfront hiking. The trees and mosses seem to vary greatly, and there is plenty of opportunity to extend or shorten this hike.
