Today you are in for a treat as we make our first stop at Lake Champlain Chocolates for local artisan ice-cream and chocolate. We then head to Stowe, Vermont, a popular winter ski destination, this charming New England town comes to life with the quintessential red and orange hues during the Fall months. Then we head to the Raven Wildlife Program, where you MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® and get fascinating insight into the local ecology, wildlife, and even the science behind the famous colors of  the fall foliage found here.

Journey along "The Kanc", an American Scenic Byway that cuts through the White Mountain National Forest, admiring the glowing fall colors. Then this afternoon you'll have the option to enjoy free time exploring shops and restaurants of North Conway or join a led hike to Diana's Baths, a series of small waterfalls.

We continue through the lush pine forests, highlands and river valleys that define the rugged Maine landscape.

Dive Into Culture during your visit to Acadia National Park, the first National Park established East of the Mississippi. Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park is the highest point along the Atlantic Seaboard and first spot in the United States where you’ll see the sunrise. Admire the magnificent view over the Schoodic Peninsula, pink granite cliffs and ancient maple forests – their leaves glowing fiery red, burnt orange and mustard yellow in the crisp autumn air. We’ll return to Bar Harbor for an afternoon at leisure or consider joining an optional nature cruise on Frenchman Bay.

The intense hues of New England’s forests and mountains linger as we journey south past the rocky beaches and cliffs of Maine’s rugged coast. Make a stop at the iconic Nubble Lighthouse. We also journey past fisheries and seaside dwellings that have sheltered everyone from local lobstermen to holidaying Presidents.
