Start with a gentle chairlift ride up Wentworth Mountain as you glide through a glowing canopy of fall foliage. As you ascend, you'll be treated to a panorama of red and gold, streaming out to the horizons of the unspoiled Wentworth Valley. Once you've taken in the view from the summit, enjoy the downhill walk along tree-lined trails, where you can get up close and personal with the Acadian forest at its most spectacular.
