Review:
The Laurel Highlands are one of western Pennsylvania's most beautiful natural regions, located approximately an hour southeast of Pittsburgh's downtown district.
The region, which stretches through Fayette, Cambria, and Somerset County, is home to some of Pennsylvania's highest elevations, including majestic Mount Davis, reaching 3,213 feet above sea level.
Visitors flock to the region throughout the year for outdoor recreational opportunities, including hiking, biking, fishing, hunting, wildlife watching, and skiing. Delightful outdoor destinations like Ohiopyle State Park showcase stunning waterfalls like Cucumber and Ohiopyle Falls, which can be reached via hiking trail and make for great nature photography opportunities.
Biking is popular along the Great Allegheny Passage, while amazing hiking opportunities are offered along the Laurel Highlands Trail. Visitors can also explore architectural wonders like Fallingwater or relax in style at the stunning Seven Springs Mountain Resort.
