There is no better place to be for Fall leaf peeping than in Maine. The melting of hues of leaves from green to yellow, to burnt orange and crimson begins as early as mid-September in northern Maine, and as late as Halloween at Maine's southern tip. The vibrant process begins in August as the warm weather wanes and Maine's 57 species of broadleaved trees begin preparing for autumn. Instead of slipping quietly into hibernation, nature trumpets the bright oranges and yellows of sugar maples, the purples of white ash, the scarlet of red and mountain maples, and the rich, earthy browns of black and white oaks. Few sights satisfy the soul like the brilliant colors splashed across Maine's forests each autumn. There is so much to see and do in Maine. Time to plan your trip today.
