Canada Cliffs Trail Details
This trail provides access to the top of Beech Cliffs via a ladder trail. Using many switchbacks and a few short ladders, the shady, steep ascent up the cliffs is well protected and well forested, and therefore lacking in good views. For more spectacular and dramatic views, turn to the much more strenuous Beech Cliff Trail. Open sections of trail do give some views of the mountains to the east and west and the islands of the Gulf of Maine to the south. The trail also intersects the Valley Trail. Trailhead: Across from the Beech Mountain parking lot.
