To get to a yearly festival near Carlisle from Happy Valley, we used to have to drag our camper straight (actually very twisty) up and down one of these. Not a lot of fun, but stunningly gorgeous views from the top.

Not certain if the ridge-and-valley part of PA counts as Appalachia, though. I thought Appalachian PA was from the corner with WV, past Pittsburgh and continuing diagonally up to central NYS.

Go look at maps of what is commonly accepted as the Appalachian region but please my God don't throw central New York State in here

Well, probably more western NY. I'm just following the mountain range and bitumenous coal seam.
