Fall Adventure Bucket List
Here are six heart racing ways to view fall foliage this autumn.
We love seeing your Pocono Mountains stories! As you cross items off your fall bucket list, share your experiences on social media using #PoconoBucketList.
Air Tour
What better way to experience the fall foliage than with a bird’s eye view? See the beauty of fall in the Pocono Mountains with an air tour! Ascend over well-known waterways and mountains bursting with vibrant hues. Buckle up for a private tour for two, and see the aerial sights of the region.
You've watched the racecar drivers all summer long, now it's your turn! Pocono Raceway, home of the legendary "tricky triangle", offers a Stock Car Racing Experience. Feel like a pro as you drive or ride behind the wheel of a 600 horsepower NASCAR-style stock car. The car reaches speeds up to 165 miles per hour allowing drivers to feel the rush that until now was only known in the racing world.
Skydiving
Calling all thrill seekers! Possibly the most adventurous way you'll ever view the fall foliage is skydiving in the Pocono Mountains! Jumpers will experience the thrill of free-fall from 13,500 feet above the Poconos. As the canopy opens, skydivers will float to the ground while enjoying the foliage views of the mountains and the Delaware Water Gap. Even catch a glimpse of the New York City Skyline!
For fall foliage views you won’t find anywhere else, take a treetop zip line ride in the Pocono Mountains! Race along scenic stretches on a high-speed, high-adrenaline adventure! Fly solo or soar across the skyline in pairs!
Take a closer look at the fiery fall foliage when you climb through the treetops at a Poconos adventure park! Travel from tree to tree as you work your way through challenging aerial obstacles including swinging bridges, rope sections, suspended logs, wire cables and more!
Conquer the 25-mile Lehigh Gorge Trail among a canopy of fiery reds, yellows and oranges! Journey through the Lehigh Gorge State Park along the Lehigh River to experience some of the region’s best foliage. Take on the full 25-mile trail, or opt for a shorter 10 or 15-mile ride. The gentle downhill trail is popular among people with every fitness level. Bring your own wide-tired bike, or rent one.
