    As the pioneer settlers drove their oxen and mules through this remote territory it seemed the ups and downs would never cease; ever since, the area has been known as the “Endless Mountains”. Roughly including all or parts of Tioga, Bradford, Susquehanna, Lycoming, Sullivan, Luzerne and Wyoming Counties, the region consists of plateaus deeply incised by the Susquehanna River and its tributaries.

    Much of the area remains wild, preserved in vast acreage of state forest and game lands. There are state parks at Ricketts Glen and at the northern end of Pine Creek Gorge.

    The mountains here are frequent and steep, and many streams flowing off of them offer beautiful waterfalls. In addition to many “roadside” falls, the area boasts some of the most spectacular waterfall hikes to be found anywhere.
