Not sure if it fits your route, but kinzua. Old railroad bridge over a valley that was blown down in a tornado. They made a really cool glass bottom viewing platform..and the bridge still lies in the valley

I looked into this, its really cool but its about an hour out of the way :( wish i knew about it earlier though, I’ve been to that area before, just had no idea what was nearby I guess.

We are gonna make a stop in Austin to see the abandoned dam and paper mill!

Actually, based on the route we’ve decided to take tomorrow, we’re currently 5 hours even away from it :0 we could probably go? Assuming we get there before the sun sets. We’re leaving Wyalusing in the am for this reason, we missed the PA grand canyon today because it was like 9pm when we got there. Hopefully we do it right this time around!

We saw Potter County during the day. Ate at Vinnys, it was a very beautiful area. Was crazy how quiet it was everywhere you went, and the amount of rivers in this area is shocking. Super cool trip so far!

Glad you’re enjoying it! I went to college up there, and have been going there since I was 5! I think the quiet is my favorite part! I even ran an organized 5k (conquer the canyon) at the grand canyon a few years back. Def. a great spot if you enjoy the outdoors!

Austin is a cool historical site, but you should temper your expectations. There are a few big chunks of the dam, but a lot of it is washed away. As for the mill, that is a different location and I'm not sure if it is accessible without trespassing. The good news is that you might be able to see it from the road this time of year.
