Navigating the sweeping road that continually rises and falls, you will eventually find yourself in the old coal mining towns of Honesdale and Carbonsdale. Continuing on your way, you will get to admire the steam powered locomotives at Steamtown. At Lackawanna Coal Mine, you will be able to descend and get a glimpse of what it was like to be a coal miner.
Winding around PA Route 6, you will eventually make it to Scranton where you should be able to check out the Pennsylvania Anthracite Museum. Embarking again, it will take you a while to get to Wellsboro which still has neighborhoods reminiscent of the 1930s and a place to eat called the Wellsboro Diner.
More than a couple of miles away from Wellsboro, you will stumble across the Pine Creek Gorge a.k.a. the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania. You will soon find yourself descending into Susquehannock State Forest which will take you by the swift yet shallow river sharing the same name.
Though you will leave Susquehannock State Park, you will find yourself in the wilderness again after finding yourself in Allegheny National Forest. Drawing closer to the end, you may be able to take a slight detour towards the Kinzua Railroad Viaduct if you wish to behold the former highest and longest railroad in the world.
