Mountain Trail Horse Center                                             Wellsboro, Tioga County

This looks like a really cool family vacation.  Guided horseback tour of the "PA Wilds". Awesome right? Check out both the vacations and the trail rides. I like the "City Slickers Special" for obvious reasons. Lol.

Visit Erie's State Park, Zoos, Amusement Parks and Art Museums.

In the top left corner of the state is a gem we like to call Erie. Erie is named after the Eriez Indian Tribe, which disappeared before the arrival of the white man. 

Erie’s Presque Isle State Park, located on peninsula jutting into the now clean and clear water of Lake Erie, is Pennsylvania’s top tourist attraction, drawing around four million visitors a year with seven miles of sandy, fresh-water beaches. Some year’s attendance averages have seen more visitors than Yellowstone National Park, yet Presque Isle never seems crowded because of the number of beaches and activities available.
