Bushkill Falls has been called the "Niagara of Pennsylvania," and is among the Keystone State's most famous scenic attractions. The series of eight waterfalls, located deep in the Pocono Mountains, can be reached via a network of hiking trails and bridges that offer many spectacular views of the falls.

It's been a popular tourist attraction for over a century, and today attracts a quarter-million visitors annually. The falls are one of the most popular day-trips along the East Coast.  Of course it helps they are only 90 minutes from New York and two hours from Philadelphia.

But, why day-trip when you can enjoy the Fernwood Hotel & Resort's Summer Hikers Bushkill Falls Package and spend a night in the beautiful Pocono Mountains? The cool, fresh mountain air will be a nice reprieve from the hot city, and hotel accommodations start from $100 per night, per room, based on double occupancy. The package, available through Sept. 6, includes two tickets to Bushkill Falls and access to all their hiking trails.

Spend the day wandering the paths through the beautiful falls enjoying the pristine environment. The Red Trail takes a couple of hours to hike around all eight falls. After an invigorating hike you can return to the Fernwood for the night, relax by the pool, take in a show, and have a leisurely dinner at one of the resort's themed restaurants.  It beats a long drive back to the city.
