This place is insane if you love the night sky. It’s one of the darkest places on the East Coast, it’s so dark that you can see the Milky Way with your bare eyes. People bring telescopes and camp out just to stargaze. It feels magical, almost like yo...
Cherry Springs State Park
Not a lot of people talk about this one, but it’s gorgeous. Huge rock formations, hiking trails that overlook the Loyalsock Creek, and a big swimming hole in the summer. It’s one of those parks that feels totally untouched, like nature hasn’t been in...

Hawk Mountain Sanctuary
Another underrated cave system, but this one is extra sparkly! The formations inside look like crystals and gemstones under the lights. It’s been open since 1871, so it has a fun old-school touristy vibe, but the cave itself is absolutely mind-blowin...
Crystal Cave
This is a living time capsule. It’s one of the oldest surviving narrow-gauge railroads in the U.S., and you can actually ride the steam train through the countryside. The whole rail yard is preserved like a museum, so it feels like stepping into the ...
East Broad Top Railroad
Most people know Ricketts Glen for waterfalls, but a hidden gem is Sullivan Falls!! It’s way less crowded, but still insanely beautiful. It’s a 30-foot waterfall you can hike down to, and locals even swim at the base in summer. It’s rugged, quiet, an...
