Temperatures don’t begin to rise above the 50°F in the Poconos until early May. In this way, our area gets a late start to spring. That’s OK with us, though, it just means more time for winter activities! When spring does arrive, one of our favorite things to do is tour our state’s stunning landscape with scenic drives in Pennsylvania. The most awe-inspiring scenic drive is the Gateway to the Endless Mountains!
