Photographer Sara Gray captured the following images following a favorite Maine foliage drive from Whitefield to Wiscasset through peak fall color. We slowed down to admire country stores, stretches of farmland, and the striking scenery that pulls visitors to the area year after year.

Hi Mary and James. At the end of this Maine Foliage Drive post, we noted that it was first published in 2014. The photos, however, were likely taken in 2013 in preparation for the 2014 feature story in print. We like to share the photos at the very start of the foliage season to help inspire those planning their own leaf-peeping adventures for the upcoming season. Thanks!
My wife and I are planning a trip to Maine this fall. We’re from Oklahoma. We want to arrive with the full color foliage. Can you tell us when that is likely to occur?
Great, great pictures….I love fall better than summer or winter….although spring is pretty good. My birthday is in October, so I can appreciate these pictures even more than most other people!!!
I live in the northern Rocky Mountains – we have wonderful scenery, too – but how I miss my New England roots! Thank you for the photos – wonderful memories re-ignited!
When were these pictures taken? I’m from South Louisiana and it’s still very hot here. Would be nice to have an early fall here.
Certainly not taken this year. I was just in the area and there is only the slightest hint of color, and that is from summer stress, I think.

These photos are spectacular.
Thanks for the great photos
New England is a wonderful place to live
My heart yearns to be back home in the fall. These photos are a godsend. Thank you.
I know exactly what you mean. I look for fall where I can find it and try to make the most of it. It’s not the same, but it helps.

Hi Leroy, It varies but your best bet is the end of the first week in October until around the tenth of that month-Dick Hawkins
These photos are the next best thing to being there. Beautiful!
Thank you for this article and wonderful pictures. Your time and effort are much appreciated!
I’d love to see these photos in 1920×1080 resolution. Great wallpaper material!
Just beautiful!
I can smell the leaves here at my computer in Florida!! I can almost hear a bull moose calling for love in the distance. Thank you!!
I relish each Yankee copy for past 25 years since life’s plans took me away from New England
Can I subscribe to Yankee magazine in the UK? I’m planning a late Oct fall foliage trip and could use the help of the magazine

Please send the photographs. I love Maine!

The photographs are just beautiful. How I miss New England. Now living in California; but there is no place like New England. Thank you.
Will be in New England touring from 8th October, so hoping to take photo’s like this. Coming from old England
I can smell the leaves, hear them in the winds. Taste some of the cider and donuts! Love Fall and New England!
