As the temperature get colder, you might be dreaming about getting away on a vacation. But why go somewhere tropical when you can head north, like Northern Maine? This week, travel publisher Lonely Planet named Northern Maine seventh on its Top 10 list of top US destinations for 2013. They say Maine is more than lighthouses and lobster rolls but also has Baxter State Park, whitewater rafting plus its multi-day canoe trips.
Louisville, Kentucky topped the list followed by Fairbanks, Alaska and San Juan Islands, Washington.
And it's not just Lonely Planet spotlighting Northern Maine. The travel web site livability.com named Bangor one of America's hottest cold cities.
