Designed with comfort and discovery in mind, this thoughtfully paced tour blends iconic landscapes with small-town hospitality and classic Americana experiences.
Your adventure begins at the breathtaking Pennsylvania Grand Canyon, where sweeping vistas from Leonard Harrison State Park offer the perfect introduction to the region. Enjoy a hearty cowboy-style lunch before settling in for a guided covered wagon ride along the canyon floor, tracing the path of old rail lines and learning about the area’s rich lumbering past. The day concludes in picturesque Wellsboro, where you’ll unwind at the historic Penn Wells Lodge and enjoy a delicious locally inspired dinner.

Afterward, savor free time in downtown Wellsboro—browse unique shops, enjoy lunch at your own pace, and indulge in a sweet stop at Highland Chocolate. The evening highlights dining in the elegant Mary Wells Dining Room, followed by relaxing at the lodge.
On the final day, travel to Williamsport to explore the Thomas T. Taber Museum, where Lycoming County’s heritage unfolds through beautiful collections and guided storytelling.
