Washingtoner/10233022

WELLSBORO, Pa. - Washingtoner -- The town of Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, located in the heart of the Potter-Tioga region, has been recognized by Country Living as one of the 55 Best Fall Towns in the U.S. for Foliage. Wellsboro ranked ninth on the magazine's list, which specifically praises the nearby Pennsylvania Grand Canyon as "an absolute must-see when covered in beautiful foliage." This recognition further endorses the beauty of the Potter and Tioga counties region, which was named the Best Outdoor Destination in Pennsylvania by the New World Report Travel Awards earlier this year.

"The Potter-Tioga region's spectacular vistas and quaint mountain towns have long been a popular destination for those seeking to enjoy the fall colors in Pennsylvania. It's exciting to see Wellsboro and the PA Grand Canyon recognized on this list," Colleen Hanson, Executive Director of Visit Potter-Tioga PA, said. "This area has so much to offer, with the leaf-peeping season just one attraction among the many trails, shops, events, and amenities that keep visitors returning here year after year."
