Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Many of us are taking more frequent, shorter trips and vacations, and thus, are looking for adventure closer to home. "Backroads of Pennsylvania" makes it easy for you to get the most out of your limited time by suggesting trips that are perfect for day or weekend getaways.
Covering nearly all corners of the diverse Keystone State-from the Northern Tier to the rolling farmlands of Dutch country and the popular Amish Lancaster County; from the battlefields of Gettysburg to the disappearing wilderness of the Poconos and the Appalachian Trail -our local experts lead readers on drives that explore the most scenic natural areas and the sites that capture Pennsylvania's colorful history.
"Backroads of Pennsylvania" takes both active and armchair travelers into some of the most secluded and overlooked spots in the state, providing a special glimpse into the people, events, and geography that make each region unique. Interesting sidebars on Pennsylvania history and the state's natural wonders, plus spectacular photographs, complement the narrative.
