Poconos
Northeastern resort range
The Poconos is a mountainous region in northeastern Pennsylvania, popular as a resort destination for visitors from New York City and Philadelphia.
The area is known for honeymoon resorts, ski slopes, and outdoor recreation: We're renting a cabin in the Poconos this weekend.
Also called the Pocono Mountains.
