AN UNDER-THE-RADAR REGION OF TREMENDOUS DIVERSITY. Where else could you visit an Amish family’s farm, read the Declaration of Independence and ride a boardwalk roller coaster in a single day? These two states have dozens of parks where you can float down the Delaware, camp in out-of-the-way forests, sunbathe on a pristine beach or brush up on your pre-colonial American history.

Explore Philadelphia’s burgeoning culinary scene after a long day learning about the nation’s origins. Nearby in Jersey are the overlooked Pine Barrens and the riverside getaways of New Hope and Lambertville. The further west you go in Pennsylvania, the more rural it becomes until you reach Pittsburgh’s bustling ethnic areas and top museums.
