After a panel of experts and 10Best editors selected and announced the 20 nominees in mid-August, voting was open to the public for four weeks (one daily vote per person). The Poconos has been nominated in this national contest several years in a row and ranked in the Top 10 each time, securing 3^rd place in 2021, 8^th place in 2020, and 4^th place in 2019.

“We are honored to receive this recognition. The Pocono Mountains is a great four-season destination, with fall being a prime time to visit,” said Chris Barrett, President/CEO of the Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau. “From hopping in the car for a scenic cruise to climbing aboard a fall foliage train or chairlift, there are so many ways to enjoy autumn throughout our 2,400 square mile, four-county region.”
