20 Best Leaf Peeping Spots to Marvel at Maine’s Fantastic Fall Foliage of Colors

Maine is known for many things, but what it all comes down to is this: our four seasons.

Whether you're skiing down one of our many trails in December or taking a Casco Bay cruise in the sunny months of July, this state has something to offer for every season and any interest.

September 1st hit and everyone around me was "pumpkin this", and "pumpkin that" but I am still trying to hold onto the last few days of summer. This is the awkward time in our state where mornings are chilly, afternoons are too hot, and evenings are freezing.

Does anyone know how to properly dress for this time of year in Maine?

Regardless, I can no longer ignore the patch of red in the green trees, and we've already had our fair share of days where the temperature dipped and the air was crisp.
