Day Trips from lehigh valley

Day Trips

We are fortunate to live in the midst of one of the most interesting areas of our country. Many of us have fond experiences of day trips (or maybe slightly longer trips) within Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

We invite you to send us your information about places you've visited and would like to share with your neighbors. Please send us your photos and a writeup of your trip, and we'll make you instantly famous as a travel writer. After all, Mark Twain started that way.
