Pocono Mountains, PA
Savor fall’s spectacular colors in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, less than two hours from NYC. The state parks of the Poconos offer trails, horseback riding and even old-fashioned hayrides and train rides through the mountains. You’ll have to drive there, so enjoy the scenery and check out the farm stands and pumpkin patches along the way. The areas surrounding the Poconos also offers numerous festivals and events throughout the fall season. [Photo via] Where: Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau 1004 W.
