- The Appalachian Trail: This 2,100-mile trail from Georgia to Maine has some of the most spectacular scenery in northern New England. The trail enters the region in southwest Vermont, winding through the southern Green Mountains before angling toward the White Mountains of New Hampshire. From here, it passes by remote Maine lakes and through hilly timberlands before finishing up on the summit of Mount Katahdin.
- Acadia National Park: New England's only national park is also one of the most popular in the U.S. The rocky, surf-pounded coastline is the main attraction, but don't overlook the quiet boreal forests and open summits of low mountains with spectacular coastal views.
- Mount Katahdin: Rising abruptly from a thick blanket of North Woods forest, the nearly mile-high Mount Katahdin has an ineffable spiritual quality. It's the centerpiece of equally inspiring Baxter State Park, one of the last, best wilderness areas of the eastern states.
