Best National Parks Near Pennsylvania
Although Pennsylvania doesn't have a national park, Shenandoah National Park in Virginia is about a four-and-a-half-hour drive from Philadelphia. The park rises above the Virginia Piedmont to its east and the Shenandoah Valley to its west with two peaks, Hawksbill and Stony Man, reaching 4,000 feet. The different kinds of weather and topography create a mix of habitats in which tens of thousands of living creatures thrive.
The park has over 500 miles of trails for exploring, like Hightop Summit, which winds up a ridge to a 3,296-foot rocky viewpoint with moderate difficulty. It's a three-mile round trip hike that generally takes about three hours. The Whiteoak Falls is another great challenging hike to cascades and waterfalls. This moderate 4.6-mile round trip hike goes to the upper falls before returning. One of the most popular travel spots inside Shenandoah National Park is Skyline Drive, which runs over 100 miles through the park. Bears roam the hollows, and brook trout populate the tumbling streams just beyond Skyline Drive.

The Liberty Bell, once known as the State House Bell, rang in the tower of the Pennsylvania State House to assemble lawmakers to their meetings and signaled to the townspeople that it was time for the daily reading of the news. After some hard use, the Liberty Bell cracked, and attempts were made to repair it in 1846. Unfortunately, the bell was unable to be fixed. An inscription is written near the top of the bell about liberty and the bell's history.
The American Philosophical Society Hall was built in 1789 and provided a central meeting place for its members. Among those members was former president Thomas Jefferson, who encouraged the American Philosophical Society outfit to explore the American continent further. Today, there are journals to validate this expedition and other exhibits of history, science, art, and Philadelphia's earlier days.
The John Coltrane House is another great place to visit in Pennsylvania if you're interested in jazz. As you approach the house, the first thing you'll see is the wheat-paste mural of the legend holding a tenor saxophone.
Explore the historic Eastern State Penitentiary that held notorious lawbreakers, including Slick Willie Sutton and Al Capone. Day and night tours are offered that include the penitentiary's history and a look at death row, as well as award-winning exhibits about prison today and the root causes of mass incarceration.
Because it's one of the oldest states and played such a fundamental role in United States history, there are a ton of Pennsylvania landmarks that you will want to take in while you're RVing across the Keystone State.
