1. Baxter State Park – Maine
Are you a fan of hiking? Then I have you! One amazing hidden gem is definitely Baxter State Park, located in northern Maine. Close to another amazing destination, which is the Appalachian Trail, this park is one of the best virgin forests on the East Coast.
If you’re both into hiking and photography, you won’t regret visiting this area. The Knife Edge Trail is probably one of the best places for epic hiking adventures in the US! The proper time to visit Baxter is usually in the summer and fall. Besides warmer temperatures and optimal conditions for hiking, the whole area is breathtaking!
If this hasn’t convinced you yet, you must know that here you can see the Northern Lights and the aurora borealis. Amazing, right? Don’t forget to get a reservation in advance to have full access to the area.
