Lots of beautiful views, wine country, etc. From Buffalo, you can pick up the Empire State Trail and take that all the way to Albany.
Heh. I have lived in PA all my life and it's still a mystery to me.
We took NY 5 up through Dunkirk and into Buffalo way back in `1999. It was fine.
Spent a little bit of time on PA 5 leaving Erie back in 2017 I then turned east onto PA 8. I probably acceptable, especially if you were to go early. U.S. 20 and I-90 parallel PA 5, so they probably absorb most of the heavy traffic.
And tour comment about the weather along the lake made me chuckle. We camped somewhere between Dunkirk and Buffalo. Jight have been Sheridan Bay. With the wind coming off the lake, we built a big campfire. In early frigin' August.
I remember thinking that I would never come here during the winter.
