Raystown Lake is the largest lake in the state of Pennsylvania. Around 44 miles south of State College, home of Penn State University, and around a 3-hour drive from Washington DC, it is a great destination for boating, swimming, mountain biking, scuba diving, and fishing during warmer months.

The nearby town of Huntingdon, PA, set along the Juanita River dates to 1767. It’s home to the nation’s oldest automobile museum, Swigart Museum. Lincoln Caverns are another highlight. Here are some of the highlights of visiting this Pennsylvania region!

Great Things to Do in Southeast Montana

Wild, wacky and wonderful are three words that encapsulate the experience of visiting Southeast Montana. A pontoon boat ride through Bighorn Canyon is wonderfully picturesque, and perhaps one of the most underrated experiences in the United States. The Terry Badlands offer another dramatically beautiful landscape.

Southeast Montana is also rich in Native American culture and history. Little Bighorn Battlefield was home to “Custer’s Last Stand,” a major Native American victory in the fight to preserve their way of life. Pompeys Pillar is where Captain Clark engraved his name during the Lewis and Clark Expedition, helping to pave the way for American expansion.

Then there’s the wacky, like the world’s largest steer at the O’Fallon Historic Museum.

Here are some of the best things to experience in Southeast Montana!

Dramatic fjords and glaciers await visitors in Southeast Alaska. This is the stage for some of the most gorgeous scenery on Earth. We recently embarked on a 7-day small ship UnCruise adventure cruise to explore Alaska’s unspoiled wilderness firsthand. Southeast Alaska is a wonderland to experience through kayaking, hiking, bushwhacking and small ship skiff boat tours.

You may be fortunate to view the Northern Lights, like we did! Bell even took a polar plunge in freezing water, with South Sawyer Glacier in the background. Here is what you can expect to experience on a 7-day Alaska Uncruise, along with packing tips and advice for staying in Juneau and Ketchikan!
