Leaf Peeping in Maine this Autumn

How to Experience Fall Foliage on the Northeast Coast

Maine brings out the best in fall foliage. As New England’s most northern state, Maine has obtained a tranquil atmosphere as its visitors enjoy fresh seafood, iconic lighthouses, and of course, gorgeous fall colors. Don’t miss a great view of the foliage from the Penobscot Narrows Bridge and Observatory – set just south of the Best Western hotel in Bangor. Head up to the Penobscot Narrows Observatory – the tallest bridge observatory on the globe – and get a bird’s-eye-view of Maine’s fall colors from 420 feet.

Want to get up close to Maine’s impressive foliage. Leaf peepers will get a kick out of a few days in the Acadia National Park – an expansive park consisting of nearly 50,000 acres. Go hiking and biking in Acadia Park, bring the camera for nature photography, or pack a picnic for under the brilliant gold, red, yellow and orange of Maine’s autumn season. After your day in the park, check into the Best Western hotel in Bar Harbor just north of the park, and rest up for another day of foliage fun.
