5Acadia National Park (Maine)

Acadia National Park is a gem of the northeastern U.S., located on the rugged coast of Maine. This park offers a unique blend of coastal beauty and forested splendor, making it a must-visit in the fall. The autumn months bring a fiery palette to the park’s forests, with sugar maples, beeches, and birches lighting up the landscape.

Cadillac Mountain, the highest point on the U.S. Atlantic coast, offers an unforgettable sunrise experience during autumn, as the golden hues of dawn combine with the reds and oranges of the fall foliage. The park’s network of trails provides opportunities for hiking through dense, colorful forests and along the dramatic granite coast. Fall is also an ideal time to enjoy a leisurely drive along the Park Loop Road, where the ocean meets the forest in a breathtaking juxtaposition.
