Two Nights of fantastic fun, delicious meals, even more touring and some of the finest accommodations in the state and you are sure to experience one of the most comprehensive fall foliage trips you could ever imagine.

The Fryeburg Fair – It was a chilly day in March of 1851 when a few local farmers and merchants got together and decided to show off their produce, cattle and wares to the community. Since those humble beginnings, Fryeburg Fair has grown to become Maine’s largest agricultural fair complete with harness racing, a farm museum second to none, the world’s largest steer and oxen show and a reputation known throughout North America. Enjoy lunch on your own here at the fair and take in some of the great events such as Ox Pulling, Beef & Lamb Auctions, the Flower Show, Horse Pulling, and everyone’s favorite Harness Racing.

Chondola Ride – Included in your package is the Chondola ride that takes us to the top of North Peak at Sunday River, giving visitors spectacular views of the Mahoosuc Mountains and across the Sunday River Valley. Visible within a short walk from the top are all eight of Sunday River’s peaks, along with the entire Mahoosuc Range including Old Speck Mountain – the third highest peak in Maine with an elevation over 4,000 ft. For the ride up, guests can choose between open chairs or enclosed gondola cabins, then for the return trip can choose to ride down in a gondola cabin or hike down one of our recommended trails.

Moose Safari – Our journey begins with a stop at the Artist Bridge. This bridge, built in 1872, is named the Artist’s Bridge because of its reputation as being the most photographed and painted of the venerable covered bridges in Maine. Have your cameras ready as we head to Grafton Notch State Park, stopping at Screw Auger Falls , where we will spot feeding areas and learn about moose mating rituals. While there is no guarantee you’ll see a moose, we have a 98% success rate! Other wildlife we have encountered in the past are bear, bobcats, coyotes, eagles, hawks, fox, fisher, and of course, deer. Throughout the tour, our experienced local tour guide will tell you all you need to know about moose, their habits and even some fun facts you won’t hear anywhere else. Our final stop to take photos and stretch your legs is at the foot of Umbagog Lake, which is the largest lake to border Maine and New Hampshire. Here we turn around to hopefully spot more four legged friends on our return back to Sunday River.

Oxford Casino Grab your friends, play and have fun at Oxford Casino, where the gaming excitement goes 24/7 and there’s always a reason to celebrate. With a diverse collection of state-of-the-art reel and video slot machines, plus heart-pounding table action staffed by friendly dealers, you’ll have a blast.
