The route
The Pennsylvania Grand Canyon State Park areas display spectacular views of the Pine Creek Gorge, which is almost 50 miles long and more than 1,000 feet deep. Colton Point on the west rim and Leonard Harrison on the east rim of the canyon are "must see" vistas to visit, according to the gorge's website. Camping and picnicking areas are also available.
