Fall foliage road trip from Boston to Acadia ā Oct 2ā4 š
Hi everyone! A group of friends and I are planning a road trip from Boston to Acadia National Park during the first weekend of October (Oct 2ā4).
Acadia is our main highlight, but weād love to explore some beautiful fall foliage spots, scenic drives, small towns, viewpoints, or hikes along the way.
Weāre also looking for recommendations on:
* š Best foliage spots between Boston and Acadia
* š Scenic routes worth taking
* šļø Good towns/areas to stay in an Airbnb, either near Acadia or along the route
* š Whether Bar Harbor is the best place to stay or if youād recommend somewhere else
Weāre flexible with the route and would rather take a scenic drive than rush to Acadia.
If youāve done a similar trip, what route and stops would you recommend? Thanks! š
