This Scenic Trail In Pennsylvania Is Everything You Need This Winter

Chilled air just feels so refreshing, especially when we've been cooped up indoors during a cold spell. Even if we're not exactly a fan of the cold, sometimes we just want to bundle up and explore the wintry landscape. You might feel as though you've fallen into a snow globe, especially if you're heading out on a day with flurries, when you journey along this beautiful trail in Pennsylvania.

The Pennsylvania landscape just takes on a magical aura after it snows, and that's certainly true at Promised Land State Park in Greentown.

Outdoor lovers venture to this cozy Pennsylvania state park for its assortment of winter activities - cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and ice skating. Bring your boots, too, for a scenic hike, or go snowshoeing.

Make sure you bring a sturdy, comfortable pair of boots that you don't mind getting dirty. The trail can get icy, slushy, and muddy, so just be prepared for all three.

While Promised Land State Park is home to more than a dozen trails, start your adventure along the Little Falls Trail. Tallying 1.4 miles, the picturesque path earns a rating that hovers between easy and moderate.

Most of the obstacles you'll face, which will help you determine whether it's easy or moderate, have to do with the landscape. Keep an eye out for roots jutting out of the ground and rocks littering the path.

If you don't mind the rather rugged terrain, you'll be treated to some of the most spellbinding beauty of the winter. Follow along flowing streams that lead to...

Tiny waterfalls. If it's cold enough, icicles may dangle from trees and bushes. You'll have countless opportunities to snap photos along the route.

Cross over a fairy tale footbridge, and watch as the winter sunbeams bounce off of the water. You might catch a glimpse of local wildlife, including bald eagles.
