Scenic Drives & Fall Foliage:

Any time of the year is a great time for a scenic drive around the Maine Lakes and Mountains and the New Hampshire White Mountain area. Each season showcases glorious colors and the best that mother nature has to offer. Fall is especially popular with the leaf colors changing through all hues of red, orange, yellow and brown. Mid-September through October is the best time to see the fall foliage. See some scenic drive suggestions here.
