 Major Attractions Lehigh George Scenic Railway: This is a scenic 70 minute train ride. The train has the different carriages like first class, crown class, standard class, vista class dome, etc. We booked in vista class carriage and it's worth it Downtown: Awesome downtown with victorian architecture, restaurants, shops. Asa Packer Mansion Museum: There are 2 mansions, Asa Packer Mansion that is converted into a museum and the Harry packer mansion that is converted into a tourist hotel. Old Jail Museum: Still in very good shape and worth seeing! Jim Thorpe memorial: This great athlete won gold medals in pentathlon and decathlon in 1912 Olympic games.

 Potter Tioga, PA Major attractions Cherry Springs Stargazing: This is where you can see our galaxy, the Milky Way. Make sure you are visiting this place on no moon day. I didn't add any pictures for this as I went there on a close to full moon day! PA Grand Canyon : If you are a hiker, this is the place to go. Scenic views, waterfalls, all along the way. Ole Covered Wagon tours : Horse drawn wagon tours! Boy, those horses are taller than me (I am 6ft. tall), and the wagon could accommodate more than 30 people. The tour goes alongside the canyon. Sinnemahoning State Park : Here you can go for a boat ride for an hour watching the birds and the nature. Hey, they provide even the binoculars to watch the birds! Where to stay?: Absolutely the Bear mountain lodge :) Grand Canyon Nearby Ole Covered Wagon Tours Sinnemahoning State Park Bear Mountain Lodge
