Mid Coast Maine - White Mountains (65 miles)
For this itinerary, we’ve planned for you to head inland and leave the coast behind. But if you have more time, you might like to journey further north along the coast into the Acadia National Park, and the lovely coastal town of Acadia. Just ask if you would like more details.
Leave Maine for the state of New Hampshire, driving through fields into forests and up into the White Mountains, which cover about a quarter of the State.

Our suggestion for today is to drive up to the summit of Mount Washington – the highest peak in the North East at over 6,000 feet. The road to the top is usually open mid-May to Mid-October . There you will find a weather station and Extreme Mount Washington museum, housed inside the Mount Washington State Park Sherman Adams Visitor Center.
