Much of Maine's beautiful scenery does not lie alongside the state's heavily traveled roads. Tucked away among the "blue highways" are many stretches of road that are simply a pleasure to discover. Now, thanks to Maine's Most Scenic Roads, we can tune up the car, pump up our bicycle tires, or roll out the motorcycle and head directly for twenty-five of Maine's most scenic, pleasurable, and spectacular drives.

Author John Gibson has been introducing people to New England's special places for more than twenty years through his popular hiking guides, including Walking the Maine Coast, and Walking the New England Coast. All that trekking meant a great deal of driving as well, so John knows better than most how satisfying it can be to explore Maine's lesser-traveled byways.

In Maine's Most Scenic Roads you'll find a selection of the best drives in all areas of the state. Some are loop routes, while others run point-to-point. Each can be worked into a larger itinerary. Thorough directions and easy-to-follow maps ensure that you can relax and enjoy the view.
