Visiting Maine Each year, numerous tourists travel to Maine. Sometimes they eat lobster, enjoy the warm weather, and take cruises on the bay. Other times, they ski, ice fish, and enjoy holiday fairs. Of course, there is always a debate surrounding the best time of year to visit Maine. There are so many great times of the year to vacation in Maine that it is hard to choose when to go. Springtime in Maine does not necessarily mean warmer weather. In fact, ski resorts are often open well into spring. However, restaurants and shops consider spring preseason and often have good deals for tourists. Spring is also a great time for white-water rafting and for moose watching. Summertime packs tourists into Maine’s coastal towns. The mountains are also great during summer, when the weather is warm. In addition, summer is the ideal time for water activities such as boat tours and kayaking. If you do not have to worry about going back to school in the fall, this season can be the perfect time to visit Maine. There are less crowds and cheaper hotel rates. You can walk along nearly empty beaches or go cycling along trails filled with fall foliage. People who love to ski say that winter is the best season to visit Maine. Want to take a break from the slopes? Many holiday celebrations and great shopping opportunities are available. You can also wander through one of the towns and admire the holiday decorations. As you can see, there is no "bad" time to visit Maine. It just depends on what kind of vacation you want to have. 2 Type your response in the box. Describe the overall organization of the passage.
