<\/p>\n
Follow a short, hemlock-shaded woodland trail in Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area to the three-tiered Raymondskill Falls<\/a>, Pennsylvania’s tallest waterfall. Two viewing platforms let hikers take in the falls from above and beside its dramatic middle tier. The trail is short but steep and uneven, a quick effort that rewards visitors with one of the state’s most impressive waterfall views.<\/p>\n
King of Prussia<\/p>\n
Walk through the site where George Washington\u2019s Continental Army endured a difficult winter encampment during the Revolutionary War at Valley Forge National Historic Park<\/a>. Park trails pass reconstructed log cabins, statues, monuments, and Washington\u2019s restored stone headquarters. Complete the 8.7-mile Joseph Plumb Martin Trail<\/a> loop or choose a shorter route for a relaxed stroll through American history.<\/p>\n
Benton<\/p>\n
Considered by many hikers to be one of the best waterfall hikes on the East Coast, the \u00a0Falls Trail System<\/a> alongside Kitchen Creek in \u00a0Ricketts Glen State Park<\/a> is a must-try journey. The 7.2-mile loop near Wilkes-Barre passes 21 waterfalls, including 94-foot Ganoga Falls, as it travels through two forested glens. This trail is best suited for experienced hikers, as steep climbs, narrow passages and slippery rocks earn it the park\u2019s most difficult rating.<\/p>\n
Driftwood<\/p>\n
Squeeze between towering boulders and wander through a natural rock city along this 4.5-mile forest loop in Elk State Forest<\/a>. Massive formations create narrow passageways and hidden corners that make the \u00a0Fred Woods Trail<\/a> feel like a maze. Between the rocks, hikers can take in\u00a0sweeping views of the Pennsylvania Wilds.<\/p>\n
Meyersdale<\/p>\n
Hike the trails surrounding the 3,213-foot summit of Mount Davis, Pennsylvania’s highest point, tucked within the rugged Mt. Davis Natural Area of \u00a0Forbes State Forest<\/a>. Rocky terrain and quiet, undisturbed woodlands set this natural area apart from the state’s more developed scenic overlooks. Climb the summit’s observation tower for a rare 360-degree view stretching across miles of unbroken forest canopy, with the ridgelines of the Laurel Highlands rising in the distance.<\/p>\n
Ohiopyle<\/p>\n
Push through a steep, rocky ascent along the Baughman Trail in Ohiopyle State Park<\/a>, rated one of the park’s most challenging hikes, to reach Baughman Rock Vista Overlook<\/a>. The climb delivers a sweeping payoff: a panoramic view of the Youghiogheny River Gorge, where the river has carved its way through the Laurel Ridge for thousands of years. Visitors seeking an easier outing can skip the steep ascent altogether and reach the overlook via a short walk from the nearby roadside parking area.<\/p>\n
