PA Grand Canyon, Timber and Traditions

 

Treat yourself to a scenic, story-filled escape into the heart of Pennsylvania, where breathtaking landscapes, small-town charm, and iconic attractions come together for an unforgettable motor coach tour.

 

Your journey begins in the charming town of Williamsport, once known as the lumber capital of the world and rich with history and charm. Start off your tour with a visit to the famous Little League Museum, offering nostalgic and inspiring experience that resonates across generations. Then, enjoy a scenic cruise aboard the Hiawatha Paddlewheel Riverboat, where gentle views of the Susquehanna River set a relaxed and memorable tone. Your day winds down beautifully with a dinner at the historic Peter Herdic House, where comfort, elegance, and character come together. You'll overnight at the historic Genetti Hotel.

 

Next, travel north to visit the Pennsylvania Lumber Museum and see immersive exhibits and historic structures that bring the state's timber heritage to life. Enjoy a Cowboy Cookout in a covered pavilion, then step on board a covered wagon tour that will be relaxing, humorous, and rich in local history. This is the perfect way to soak in the countryside and the lower part of the Grand Canyon. A local step-on guide will then join you for a ride to the PA Grand Canyon, where sweeping vistas and photo-worthy overlooks captivate both first-time visitors and seasoned nature lovers alike. This evening, savor dinner featuring the local flavors before heading back to the Genetti for the evening.

 

The final day, return to Williamsport for a guided tour of Millionaires Row, where grand Victorian mansions tell fascinating stories of wealth, innovation and industry. The tour will conclude with a stop at Penn's Cave, America's only all-water cavern tour, where you'll glide by boat through stunning underground formations - an unforgettable and truly unique finale to your journey!

To get on the boats at Penn's Cave & Wildlife Park, visitors must first walk down a steep 350-foot paved incline, followed by exactly 48 steep concrete steps equipped with handrails that lead down to the dock. You will also need to take three additional steps to board the flat-bottom boat. 

Keep in mind that these exact same 48 steps and steep incline must be climbed to return to the Visitor's Center after the tour. Because of this, the cavern tour is not wheelchair or walker accessible

 

Penn’s Cave & Wildlife Park in Centre Hall, PA features both a cafe and a large gift shop/visitor center. While they don't have a traditional historical museum, they operate as a historic natural attraction on the National Register of Historic Places.
