one of the most scenic grandeurs of the east, the 1,000 foot-deep
Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania. Situated in approximately 160,000
acres of Tioga State Forest, the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania
is spectacular. We’ll traverse the canyon floor on a horse-drawn
wagon tour, along the old railroad bed through Pine Creek Canyon.
After our box lunch, we hit the rails aboard the Tioga Central
Railroad for a scenic excursion through the sleepy towns and
pristine landscape of northern Pennsylvania.
