Lehigh Highway
Pennsylvania

Escape for an afternoon to a seemingly simpler time with the self-guided Covered Bridge Tour through Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley. The alluring drive is especially attractive during the autumn season, since most of the bridges are in rural locations with striking photo possibilities.

The route: From Allentown you'll pass through towns with old-fashioned names like Schnecksville, Ironton and Egypt before arriving at the last bridge in Kreidersvilles. Download a brochure of the 50-mile tour here.

Roadside attractions: Buy some picnic supplies in Allentown and set up lunch at one of stops. Enjoy the peacefulness of the pleasant surroundings.
