In this endless outdoor playground, you'll find steep mountains with cloud-covered peaks great for hiking, biking, fishing and canoeing. You'll come across destinations like Lehigh Gorge State Park, with miles of trails for hikers and bikers to enjoy. |
|
Lehigh is home to cities like Easton, Allentown, and Bethlehem. But walk around for a bit and you'll notice a good old-fashioned outdoorsy lifestyle. For instance, the Allentown Fairgrounds Farmers Market is an awesome place to shake hands with the locals and then get those very same hands on some deliciously fresh fruits. |

Philadelphia Region |
Philadelphia is known for its history, food, art, and all the other great things you'd expect from a big American city. While you're in the city limits, be sure to check out the most famous cracked bell in the world, The Liberty Bell. Not far away you'll find Independence Hall where our forefathers, adorned in their finest powdered wigs, politicked into the wee hours of the morning. |

Upstate PA |
UpstatePA provides some of the most dramatic scenery and landscapes in Pennsylvania. These mountainous areas with forests and steep peaks have become home to tranquil communities and state parks with unmatched natural beauty. Drive around and you'll find bustling towns like Scranton and Wilkes-Barre with quaint Main Streets and old steel mills that have sprung into museums and office parks. |

When a freshly prepared slice of shoofly pie comes calling, will you be there to answer? It's Amish Country, so of course you will. But there's more to this region than delicious homemade sweets. This is where the old world traditions like carriage rides and haystacks blend with the fun of roller coasters and luxury resorts. |
|
In this Central PA region you'll find covered bridges, tree-sheltered streams, and little Victorian towns. This is the home of The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), their Nittany Lions, and most importantly the Berkey Creamery. Just try to find a fresher scoop of ice cream anywhere else. |
Pennsylvania Wilds |
Home to millions of acres of unspoiled forests and mountains, this region seems to be built for fishing, hiking, kayaking and outdoor activities. This is where you'll find a range of sites and activities from the Straub Brewery, with 135 years of serving all-natural beer, to Hyner View Hang Gliding, where you'll see the PA Wilds like few others do. |
Laurel Highlands |
Take one look at this hilly area along the westernmost ridges of the Appalachian Mountains, and you'll understand what inspired Frank Lloyd Wright to make this the location of such masterpieces as Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob. The rivers are overflowing with fish that'll practically jump into your lap. |
Pittsburg Region |
Pittsburgh and Its Countryside is a region full of history, great food, and cool activities. The "Steel City," surrounded by the Three Rivers, is full of beautiful bridges and its countryside has some unique traits of its own. Pittsburgh is the site of the Andy Warhol Museum and The Carnegie Museum of Art. |
|
There is a reason we call this area the Great Lakes Region. For starters, the cool, calming lakes have shaped not only the climate but also the small towns and agriculture. From shipping ports to vineyards to hiking and biking trails this region in the western tip of Pennsylvania has a lot going on. |
