"Amtrak’s Downeaster line weaves north from Boston through Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine, where it ends in the city of Brunswick. Expect smatterings of New England leaves to be on display throughout the journey. Hop off the train in Portland, about a two-hour ride from Boston. While there’s plenty to do in the city itself, we recommend taking a quick 15-minute ferry ride across Casco Bay to Peaks Island. The quaint island can be navigated by visitors without a car. Grab a bike or a golf cart at one of the rental shops in town or simply use your own two feet: the area is quite walkable. There’s one hotel on the island, The Inn on Peaks Island, and plenty of waterfront dining, making it a great choice for a quick overnight or weekend stay. Take a bike ride around the two-mile island loop to absorb the incredible views. The island has a mix of deciduous and evergreen trees, so you’ll get to see bursts of oranges and rubies as well as rich, dark greens, all set against a sparkling waterfront."
