Rather than present Pennsylvania as wilderness that no longer exists, this book shows – through photography and experiential text, the magnificent beauty and weather that still abounds in our backyard. Western Pennsylvania’s immense geographic size is rich with wild nature, scenery and space. Between Lake Erie and the Maryland border, and between central Pennsylvania to the Ohio/West Virginia borders, there are several climate zones and landscapes – offering a wide swath of outdoor activity to birdwatchers, hikers, kayakers, mountain bikers, photographers and astronomers during all four seasons.
