"THE PENNSYLVANIA GRAND CANYON" Pennsylvania by JudyinPA

Pennsylvania Travel Guide: 8,072 reviews and 14,908 photos

One of the most scenic and beautiful areas of Pennsylvania is in the area surrounding Wellsboro. One thing they have is the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. Even we have a grand canyon. You can view the canyon from the top or go down to the base of the gorge and hike or bike or horseback ride the trail through the canyon next to Pine Creek, one of the best trout fishing streams in the state. Take at least 2 days to do the trail which is some 30 miles long. There are a few locations along the trail where you can park a car and then begin at the parking lot. We have always packed a backpack full of food and drink and rode the bikes for the day stopping to wade in the creek for a break. The trail is level and easy to ride so that children can go too.

How wonderful that you wrote about Gettysburg. Your info is very interesting. Thank you. I visited there apx. 1975 but didn't know about Eisenhower's farm museum.

Hiya Judy! Happy Birthday from Carlisle PA. What a beautiful day that ended up being too. Expected rain, but was able to hike instead. Many happy returns, plus many trips, of course.

Didn't realize PA could be so beautiful! Too many summers sent to visit the Polish relatives in downtown Philly!
