One-day trails in New England and New York

[igoroks]

Hi,

We are coming from Israel to a trip in New York and New England in the beginning of September this year.

As a very important part of our trip, we want to go to 3-4 hikes, each of them one day long. We are in quite a good shape, and we can walk about 10 miles in a day.

I've been reading about trails in Acadia NP, Baxter SP, The Adirondacks, the White Mountains, and other places. But I still can't decide, which trails we should choose. Can you suggest, what you think are the best 3 or 4 trails for us in this whole area?

We enjoy all the components of hiking: Nature, exercise, the views.

Thank you,
Igor.

your right on. Acadia NP is very crowded, however, beautiful. Theres really no secluded trails. But Baxter is really nice. Theres plenty of nice back country campsites and you wont see nearly as many people as you would in Acadia. North of Baxter is a area called the Allagash which is very nice as well. Also, on the north eastern coast of Maine (downeast) near the border there is a town called Cutler, and trails called Bold Coast. I highly recommend that as well.
