Many people in the United States have never experienced fall in central Pennsylvania. Having traveled throughout most of the northeast and a fair portion of the rest of the United States, I can attest that central Pennsylvania, in the fall months, is one of the prettiest states. There are days when the colors are actually startling in their color intensity. A few of years back I drove daily over the Seven Mountains, south of State College. Honestly the colors of these mountains caused me, more than once, to forget I was driving (not really) and become one with the spectrum of brilliant foliage. Add to that the usual blue skies of a central Pennsylvania fall and the result is utter fabulousness.
The PA Quilt (and Rug) Trails meanders through all this beautiful land. Many crops at this time of year have turned golden and brown. Leaves have started to fall with their dense red, yellows and oranges. Grasses flower an array of color.
And the smells. There is nothing like the smell of composting leaves, fresh brisk air and the earthy smell of smoke from wood burners.
This fall follow the PA Quilt (and Rug) Trails and use the trail as your guide through a memorable experience.
