As the air turns crisp and leaves begin to blaze with color, Kate’s Real Food invites outdoor enthusiasts to savor the changing seasons with a new Pennsylvania State Park Travel Guide, tailored for late-summer and fall escapes.
“Our journey started in Wyoming, where Kate's Real Food was born,” said Brittany Thaler, EVP of Marketing at Kate’s Real Food. “Now, we’re proud to highlight Pennsylvania, the home of our production facility and the place where every bar is made. This guide is a celebration of real food and real adventure, from the Rockies to the Appalachians.”
Explore the Best of PA This Fall
Thanks to support from the Pennsylvania Parks & Forests Foundation-- the official nonprofit partner of Pennsylvania’s state parks and forests since 1999—the state’s 124 parks and sprawling forests remain accessible.
Guided by its pillars of stewardship, education, recreation, and volunteerism, PPFF helps ensure Pennsylvania is one of only 8 states with no entry fees, breaking down barriers to the outdoors.
This guide spotlights four top parks with activities and seasonal tips for every explorer.
Top Picks Include--
-- Worlds End State Park: Rustic cabins and sweeping overlooks showcase peak Endless Mountains foliage.
-- Ohiopyle State Park: Raft the Youghiogheny or bike the Great Allegheny Passage through blazing fall color.
-- Ricketts Glen State Park: Hike the Falls Trail to see 20+ waterfalls framed by red and gold leaves.
-- Ravensburg State Park: A quiet gorge with sandstone formations and trout streams,
perfect for a fall picnic.
Real Food for Real Adventure
To keep energy high and spirits fueled, the guide also pairs each adventure type with a specific Kate’s Real Food bar flavor made with organic ingredients and balanced nutrition.
Whether hiking, biking, or relaxing by a campfire, there's a bar to match--
-- Lemon Coconut for waterfall hikes
-- Oatmeal Cranberry Almond for mountain overlook trails
-- Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate for cozy campfire nights
-- Peanut Butter Milk Chocolate for family foliage outings
Tips for a Safe & Scenic Fall
The guide also includes fall-specific safety and packing tips: shorter daylight hours, layering for temperature swings, awareness during hunting season, insect protection, and wildlife precautions.
Practical advice on booking ahead and must-have gear helps travelers feel prepared for any trail.
“Fall in Pennsylvania is breathtaking, but it’s also a season that demands thoughtful preparation,” added Thaler. “We want people to feel confident, well-fed, and ready for whatever the trail brings.”
