The route crosses the Appalachian Plateau of West Virginia and the folded Ridge and Valley province of central Pennsylvania, where the parallel northeast-southwest ridgelines of the Allegheny Mountains are clearly visible from altitude as long linear forested ridges. The Monongahela and Susquehanna river valleys cut through these ridges and are visible as winding corridors. As the flight descends toward New Jersey, the Delaware River and Delaware Water Gap area mark the transition from the Appalachians to the coastal plain.
