Maine is truly a four-season state, with each one offering new treasures and surprises. In summer, enjoy the coastline at Popham Beach, Higgins Beach, or even a <a href=greenville-greenville-61131aa6-6637-43e3-9eec-ded2a5c1bf79_.html target="_blank">Moose Safari</a>. The leaves put on a show in the fall around the Bigelow Mountains and <a href=acadia-national-park-maine_.html target="_blank">Acadia National Park</a>.

From Portland's culinary sophistication to the rustic beauty of the Appalachian Trail’s “100 Mile Wilderness,” you can find what you’re looking for in Maine, at any time of year.
