There's Nothing Like a Poconos Vacation!
Author: Elizabeth Morgan  | Posted: 10-09-2005 | Comments: 0 | Views: 202 | Rating: (50)  (?) 
The first tourists who occupied riverside houses as far back as
the 1800s experienced this ultimate relaxation. Situated in
Pennsylvania, getting there is quite easy since it's accessible
from major cities like New York, New Jersey, Boston and
Philadelphia.
From hopeless romantics, to retirees, family and friends, those
who visit the Poconos will agree that it is habit forming. The
woodlands and mountains which frame picturesque lakes, rivers
and enticing waterfalls as you drive by, seem to serve as the
perfect welcome mat for all the fun which lies ahead.
Lovers of the sea won't get enough of canoeing, kayaking, jet
skiing, fishing and rafting, Poconos-style. And if you feel at
one with nature, you can hike on one of the challenging trails
or experience dirt/ mountain biking.
There are over 30 state and national parks to visit and golf can
be enjoyed at one of the 60-plus locations. Take a walk down
memory lane by visiting historical museums and parks and even
preserve a picture of some of the Poconos' historical railroads
for posterity. The Poconos are the home of quaint galleries,
NASCAR racing, outlet shopping and hitting the slopes for some
intense skiing action.
Skiing is no doubt synonymous with the Poconos. In 1946, Big
Boulder became the first commercial ski area opened in
Pennsylvania. Ten years later, the process of man-made snow was
patented, perfected and the Pocono Mountains were introduced as
a ski destination in the Big Boulder Ski area. Some of the hot
skiing spots during winter include Alpine Mountain, Shawnee,
Blue Mountain, Camelback and Jack Frost to name a few, with over
20 trails to choose from
