I was craving for a day trip to mountains, so I browsed over the Internet and came across this beautiful place called the Pine Creek Gorge which is in our state of Pennsylvania and only few hours away from our place👍. Therefore, we decided to go for it. Pine Creek Gorge which is located in north-central Pennsylvania and nestled in Tioga State Forest is sometimes referred to as the Grand Canyon of PA. It is also one of the natural wonders of Pennsylvania😊.The gorge is formed by the Pine Creek tributary that runs through the Allegheny Mountains. The Canyon starts from the Ansonia which is located near a town of Wellsboro, a camping site used by Native Americans for hunting and stretches through the south. It is said that Native Americans used to travel through the gorge to reach Ansonia.It feels so amazing to explore the state in which we live.

Later on, we headed to the Colton Point State Park which took us around 30 mins to reach👍. It is located on the west rim of the Pine Creek Gorge and offers you some of the breathtaking views of the canyon from completely other side of the Leonard Harrison Park. There is this viewing point as soon as you enter the park which gives you stunning views and we clicked a ton of pictures from there. If you want to get the better picture of the Canyon, I recommend you to visit both the parks. Apart from sightseeing, both parks has to offer number of trails if you’re interested. Last but not the least, the route which took us to the Gorge was scenic and fun to drive😍.
On our way back home, we stopped at this beautiful and quaint town named Wellsboro. It is referred to as the home of PA Grand Canyon. This gas-light lined streets town has array of shops for shopping, restaurants and cute cafes, art galleries and so much more❤️. We ended our trip on a sweet note by stopping at this Ice cream and chocolate shop called The Main Street Creamery and their mango ice cream was delicious🥰. Hoping to visit again soon. Unfortunately, I don’t have pictures of the town.
