Just up the Northeast Extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike lies a fortress of solitude for 51 weeks of the year, an area where the trees and wildlife call in hushed tones, the air has a morning crispness not found in either of the Metropolitan areas – New York City and Philadelphia – that it tends to draw from. It is an area filled with quiet retreats, romantic views and some incredible hiking trails and ski slopes.
