We can all probably agree that Pennsylvania has two types of people — those who love the cold and snow of winter and those of us who hibernate in the house as much as possible, counting the days until spring. Even the hibernators among us will likely admit, however, that Pennsylvania transforms into a breathtaking wonderland after a fresh snowfall. Marvel at one of the most beautiful creations of nature this winter — Raymondskill Falls, Pennsylvania’s largest waterfall. If you’re lucky, you’ll visit this awe-inspiring cascade when it’s frozen and framed by snow.

Bundle up for a winter hike that just might leave you breathless — from the cold and from the sheer natural beauty of Raymondskill Falls, in Milford, Pennsylvania's largest waterfall.
