REGIONS Pennsylvania Wilds Rugged, majestic, pristine—this spectacular stretch of wilderness is where the wild things roam freely: elk in the fields, bald eagles in the treetops, and trout in the cold streams. Gaze up at the night sky. The constellations are crystal clear here, where it’s so dark you can see the stardust of the Milky Way in the International Dark Sky Park. Take your pick from incredible adventures any way you want them: by foot, raft, horseback, mountain bike, horse-drawn wagon, or hang glider.
