Most famous example is the Dolly Sods in WV, but you can also find patches in PA and NY, the larger ones in PA i know of are the Quehanna wild area and Moosic mountain.
>>1583732>My dad wants to visit a coal mine. Is that even possible?in NEPA you can go to Ashland or Scranton coal mine tours. Ashland is definitely recommended, but it might be out of the way. If you swing by Ashalnd the burning city of Centralia is only a 5 miles up the road. There's also a fossil pit in Centralia if you're into that stuff.
