Well, I guess it really depends on what you're looking for. Central PA is supposedly beautiful, but it's almost entirely desolate. Eastern PA, outside of a few towns in the poconos and the Lehigh Valley are also pretty bleak. I live on the outskirts of Bethlehem and can easily do a 40 mile loop without seeing a single store or business. If you're looking for that sort of experience and don't mind the radical topography, PA is great.
Western NJ, while still quite rural, has a little bit more going on. All the towns along the Delaware are charming and have neat places to check out. Again, it all depends on what you want to see.
