Big city dwellers have been reclaiming their sanity in the beautiful, serene Pocono
Mountains for decades. Spend a week at this four-season destination, and you'll understand
why.
Beautiful mountain lakes, rivers and streams teem with trout and American black bears
in search of a meal. Hawks and raptors seem to share the picturesque Appalachian Trail
with the hikers below. The crisp mountain air alone elicits peace and serenity among
visitors.
Add in apartments4you accommodations that allow you to enjoy the simple pleasures
of a home-cooked meal - or a spectacular sunset view on your private deck - and you
can imagine why travelers return year after year to abandon their everyday stresses.
But not everyone in the Poconos is looking for rest and relaxation. For those wanting
more adventure out of their Poconos holiday, there are many year-round activities
to get the blood pumping, such as canoeing and white-water rafting the Delaware and
Lehigh Rivers, snowboarding at the Camelback, Elk Mountain and Shawnee Mountain Ski
Areas, or watching a NASCAR Spring Cup Series Race at the Pocono Raceway. There are
even opportunities for gaming following the recent addition of casinos in Mount Airy
and Allentown areas.
In the Poconos, the area's beauty never changes, only how visitors choose to enjoy
it.
