About This Tour
Our senior group travel experts have designed this 3-day getaway to showcase the very best of Maine’s rugged beauty and unique local culture. We’ll make our home at the Grand Resort Hotel at Sunday River, where deluxe accommodations meet breathtaking alpine views.
The centerpiece of our journey is the Sunday River Fall Festival, featuring the legendary North American Wife Carrying Competition. Witness this hilarious and historic 278-yard obstacle course race where teams compete for "fame, fortune, and beer." Beyond the festivities, we’ll immerse ourselves in nature with a guided Moose Safari and a scenic Chondola ride to the summit of North Peak. To top it all off, we’ll head to the Oxford Casino to test our luck on nearly 1,000 slot machines and heart-pounding table games. With Best of Times Travel, every detail—from scrumptious meals to professional tour management—is handled so you can simply enjoy the ride.
