We made a quick stop in Wellsboro to look inside the Penn Wells Hotel. It's supposed to be haunted. The Main Street looks like all the other towns we have driven through. I love the old buildings.
We continued on Route 6 until we saw a sign for the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania. It is in the Tioga State Forest. The real name for the canyon is Pine Creek Gorge. There's a picture of it in the Penn Wells Hotel. The elevation at the rim is over 1800 feet and the gorge is 800 feet deep.
You can hear the water rushing over the rocks. It almost sounds like the ocean. What a drive to get there but worth it for this view. Thankfully the Park Ranger gave us a quicker way back out to 6.
I saw lots more farming. I also saw evidence of logging including trucks filled with logs. Karen has been whining about needing a picture of a sign with the original name of Route 6. The name is the Grand Army of the Republic Highway. She saw a great example and Bob turned around and stopped so she could get a picture. This sign was in Galeton. Galeton is a very pretty town. There is a river running through it and lovely buildings lining the far bank.
We stopped for lunch in Coudersport. The town is next to the Allegheny River. Bob and Karen ate at the Hotel Crittenden. It is an old circa 1840 hotel building that still has rooms for rent along with a restaurant and a tavern. Bob posed for a picture with this old stove inside the restaurant. I saw a goat farm outside of town - well they told me they were goats. I never met a goat before.
We arrived at the Inn on Maple Street in Port Allegany early so just chilled for a few minutes until the owner of the B & B returned from errands.
