Pennsylvania
Where revolutionary history meets mist-shrouded valleys, Amish heritage, and industrial grit.
Best Season: The absolute prime time to visit Pennsylvania is during the autumn months of September through November.

The air becomes crisp and cool, making it ideal for hiking the Appalachian Trail, exploring historic battlefields, or visiting pumpkin patches and apple orchards in Lancaster County.
