This region of the United States revolves around the major cities of New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington DC. These cities are amazing eo explore, but I'd like to focus this guide on outdoor destinations. The surrounding areas of these cities have great outdoor recreational destinations for solo travelers. In New York, you have the Catskills, Adirondack Mountains, and Finger Lakes of upstate New York, and then both the north and south forks of Long Island, including the exclusive Hamptons and Montauk beach areas. In Pennsylvania, you have lots of history in Philadelphia and the nearby Poconos Mountains with the Pennsylvania Dutch, Quaker, and Amish cultures. The area is also rich in history, most notably Gettysburg National Battlefield.
