Bethel, Maine, is a charming little mountain town that’s perfect for a fall escape. With just around 2,000 residents, it has that small-town, friendly vibe.

While it’s known for skiing at nearby Sunday River in the winter, autumn brings colorful foliage, crisp air, and tons of outdoor fun like hiking, biking, and leaf-peeping. The town itself is full of cute shops, local cafés, and seasonal events that make wandering around so fun!
