Whether you want to explore Maine’s mountains, rivers, coast or rolling farmland, there’s a foliage route for you. Many are just a couple hours from Portland, with quaint towns and places to get picnic provisions along the way. It’s a good chance to see different landscapes and explore Maine’s scenic byways, including the ones that are officially designated as such. Here are some suggestions for routes that’ll teach you about Maine’s geography. And there will be a quiz. If you don’t usually do a foliage drive, be advised this is the year for it. Foliage experts say the combination of sunshine and rainfall we’ve had is likely to create a blazing display of reds, yellows and oranges this fall.
