> Do it west-to-east and you've seen everything worth seeing by Wyoming

The section in PA that follows a few rivers before climbing the eastern continental divide is quite lovely, and is followed by a similarly lovely section along the canal to DC.

Crossing the midwest by bike is never going to lovely, no matter what direction you choose, and west-to-east at least shifts the odds of tailwinds slightly in your favor.

Yeah, that's the area I meant by Upper Appalachia, that really gorgeous, hilly topography in (what I think was) eastern Pennsylvania.
