Lehigh Valley Covered Bridges

October 2007

For some time now, I've wanted to go on the self-guided tour of the covered bridges of Lehigh County, PA. I timed it so the leaves would be beginning to change colors, although this year was disappointing in that regard because of a heat wave. The weather was perfect and we visited all seven bridges in Lehigh County plus a side trip through the Delaware Water Gap and Warren County, NJ.
