Local Destinations, Fall foliage is the mainstay of destinations in this season in our mountainous region of Pennsylvania. Driving the rural countryside and viewing the spectacular colors provided by our variety of hardwoods along with historic sites and covered bridges is an extraordinary experience. A visit to the orchard for fresh apples and pumpkins is always a fun family experience. A trek on the Allegheny Highlands hiking and biking trail is another way to view the fall foliage. On the Farm, Winter takes the color of the trees and replaces it with a beautiful white blanket of snow.
More time is spent warming by the fire and lingering over that extra hot cup of coffee at breakfast.
Wintry getaways of a romantic and relaxing weekend are very popular with us during this season. Local Festivals, Fire and Ice Festival, early January, in nearby Somerset is a truly unique winter festival. Ice sculptors display their works of art throughout the center of town. Small rings of fire spread along the walking path provide warmth from the winter cold. Outdoor Adventure, Skiing is the most popular outdoor activity during the winter season.
