The Poconos

This couple of thousand square miles of lovely, rolling, forested mountains in Pennsylvania's northeast has been a vacation (and honeymoon) favorite for generations. These days it still has its traditional allure, but sophisticated new hotels, restaurants, and amenities have spiced the mix.
