Nice clean rest stop on I-68 with a nice view…read more There's only a couple of rest-stops on the highway west between Baltimore and the West Virginia border. Sideling Hill rest stop, about 7 miles west of Hancock, provides clean facilities, nice views, and a welcome center. We always drop a few quarters into the tourist-binoculars just to see as far as we can :-) There's a few picnic tables and benches. You can stretch your legs on a variety of walkways, including a stairway partway up the mountain and a pedestrian bridge across the highway. We just walked around near the The Visitor's Center, and bought from the snack and soda machines inside.

They also have a vending machine area and picnic tables and a walkway if you need to just walk around. All nice amenities just to walk around. The bathrooms are a bit old, but cleaner than you would think. It is mainly one way so its only for going West. If you need to go back Eastward, then you need to drive another 2.8 miles to the exit to go back. Nice to have, but could be better.

But the gas prices here are fair. I fill the gas tank to that "F" line and I'm Out!

Gas, good parking, easy access (and safe exit), customer service fine, maintained (which is to say a lot given the huge volume they do).

Will return (and update the review if anything changes). f8 and be there.

The Good: *Clean restrooms *Vending machines *Picnic tables *Big grassy fields for the fur babies and human kids to stretch their legs. *Brochures and tons of info about visiting the Commonwealth of PA (it's not technically a state fyi #todayilearned) The Meh: *Restrooms aren't very big. The men's room consisted of two urinals and two stalls; you know it's bad when there's a line to drop a deuce in the men's room. The Ugly: *Allegedly there's employees to greet you inside the "Welcome" Center, but they were too busy chit-chatting in the back to be bothered. TLDR: Great place to stop, stretch, and ease one's burdens.

On one of my recent drives back home I noticed that the Pennsylvania Welcome Center coming into PA…read moreon I-70 was closed down. I measure this as being the halfway point for me and usually take that as an opportunity to take a break. But, alas, I wasn't able to make the stop...until recently. They finished their update to what is basically a rest stop and I have to say they did it justice. I hope that means they will be doing the same thing to the one on the outbound side of I-70. It is a no frills stop, but a good place to get out and stretch you legs. They offer vending machines, restrooms, informational materials (including state maps), pet area and outdoor seating if you wanted to eat your food you may have brought with you. Easy off and on to the Interstate. A good place to empty your head before you continue on with your travel.

This service plaza is one of the more interesting ones as it contains a lot of Turnpike…read morememorabilia. Long before the Turnpike became a way for the state to extract money from travelers to pay for continuous "improvements" and to fund other non-Turnpike related agencies and items, it was a super highway allowing fast, safe travel across the commonwealth. The Midway plazas were unique because they were across from one another and there's a tunnel that runs under the road that joins them; this tunnel has long been closed to the public. Anyway, if you have time, it's fun to look at the pictures that adorn this plaza and also to check out the items in the gigantic display case that celebrate the creation and history of this road.

It is a nice area to just take a rest when you are out travelling. Use the facilities for relief. Vending machines available if you are in need of a snack. There are several picnic tables to sit and have a meal. Pet area as well for your fur baby if they need release. Seems that this place is much more lively at night due to the fact that truckers will use this as a true rest area. Easy off/on to the highway.

I had just navigated loopy, intense mountainous terrain for 20 miles along Route 30 when I realized…read moreI needed to fill my tank. Shell was near 76 and I didn't feel like pulling off into a rest stop, so I pulled in. It was a fairly busy station -- I had a van hovering behind my car waiting for a tank -- but it was easy to pump the gas. Super easy merging back onto the road too. Please note that I am from South Jersey and I don't ever pump my own gas unless necessary; therefore, easy to figure out systems are nice. Also, I am from South Jersey so the largest mountain nearby is a garbage dump. Apologies if my fear of the mountainous terrain is unfounded!
