You should see PA from somewhere below the Seven Mountains, up near State College you're pretty much on top of the Seven Mountains so you don't get quite the same beautiful view that you do from down in the valleys.
Regardless of where you're at in Central PA, it's all beautiful, all year round. I'm about 30 minutes from State College. SC is a little too fast paced and crowded for my blood, but I go there pretty frequently to see concerts or meet up with some friends.
