Encompassing lakes, valleys, and tranquil forests, the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania are one of the best outdoor playgrounds in the country. The area is better known as a summer destination, but visitors who come around Thanksgiving will have the opportunity to enjoy a side of the mountains that many people never get to see. There are plenty of things to see and do here; the whole family can cycle along the Lehigh Gorge Trail or visit one of the town's indoor waterparks, while more extreme adventure seekers can go ziplining, stock car racing, or even skydiving.
