There's no doubt that the best place to see fall foliage in America is in New England. And, there's no better place in New England to take it in than Maine. Sure you can take a beautiful drive through rural roads, but what about getting a different perspective? See the best views of Maine's fall foliage by getting a bird's eye view from way up high. You can do it at these gorgeous spots!

1. South Bubble, Acadia National Park

While the hike is definitely a planned activity, the view from the top are totally worth it. The South Bubble is a bit easier than the other hikes in the area, but be sure you've planned enough time to enjoy the view from the top. This is definitely going to wow you!

2. Mount Agamenticus, York

This 1.5 mile hike will reveal the largest area of coastal forest between Acadia National Park and the New Jersey Pine Barrens. The fire tower at the top might even reveal the Atlantic Ocean or the White Mountains on a clear day.

3. Bradbury Mountain, Pownal

The hike up Bradbury Mountain is one of the easiest in the area. But the views? They're some of the most incredible you can get for the effort. Time this right and you'll be looking out over a lit-up sea of fall foliage.

4. The Height of Land, Rangeley

The views from the Height of Land are breathtaking at any time of year. The expanse of Mooselookmeguntic Lake is impressive all on its own. But, time it right and you'll be able to see the best example of Maine fall foliage. The view is located off of Route 17. Plan a drive on the 52-mile route on State Routes 17, 16, and 4 to make a day of it.

5. Mt. Battie, Camden Hills State Park

This is one of our favorite ways to take in the coast of Maine. You can choose to hike to the top of Mt. Battie, or just make the short drive in your car. Either way, make sure it's peak fall foliage time and you'll see something like this. It's unforgettable and oh-so-Maine. For more on how to get to this view, check out this article.

6. Cadillac Mountain, Acadia National Park

This is another gorgeous view that doesn't require a hike. Take the park road to the top and stop along the way for gorgeous views.

It's a popular spot among leaf peepahs from all states.

7. Tumbledown Mountain, Weld

While Tumbledown Mountain is a pretty challenging hike for lots of people, the views surrounding it are pretty incredible. Stick to the top of Little Jackson and make your way along the ridgeline of Tumbledown and the views will be just as beautiful.

8. Mt. Blue, Weld

Another more difficult climb, this should only be attempted by hikers who are ready for a journey of a few hours. It's a bit steeps, but in the fall the views are gorgeous.

9. The Beehive Trail, Acadia National Park

For the truly adventurous and daring among us, there's always this terrifying trail. It's short, but incredibly steep. If you manage to overcome a fear of heights, you'll be treated to a fantastic view of fall foliage before seeing the ocean.
