We can all probably agree that beauty is, as the old saying goes, in the eye of the beholder. So saying one trail is the most beautiful hike in Pennsylvania could cause a few raised eyebrows. Once you follow Tank Hollow Trail, however, you’ll likely agree that – with its waterfalls, colorful foliage, and jaw-dropping views – it certainly earns props as one of the most beautiful trails in Pennsylvania.
Wandering 3.4 miles through State Game Lands Number 141 in Jim Thorpe, Tank Hollow Trail is bursting with beauty, no matter the season.
Keep an eye out for a white arrow that will direct you off of the road and onto the rest of the trail that leads to an overlook with jaw-dropping views.
Cascading waterfalls and vibrant wildflowers. Keep an eye on the weather before setting off. You definitely want clear skies, or you'll miss the gorgeous views.
The out and back trail leads to an overlook that boasts one-of-a-kind gorge views. You'll find plenty of space to take a breather and to enjoy the scenery.
This is one of those hikes you want to pencil in during each season. The views are spellbinding when a vibrant emerald green, painted in fall colors, and sprinkled with snow.
Since you will be hiking on state game land, where hunting is permitted, seriously consider wearing bright orange or bright colors to help you stand out against the landscape, especially during hunting season.
