October Along The Delaware ...

“I’m so glad I live in world where there are Octobers.”

October’s beauty brilliantly dots the banks of the Delaware River in Raubsville, Pennsylvania on a beautiful autumn afternoon along the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail).

I captured this shot after setting off from the Wy-Hit-Tuk Park Trailhead, Easton, Pennsylvania.

The trail is positioned between the Delaware River and Delaware Canal, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978. The site possesses national significance in commemorating the history of the United States of America.

Running from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and Delaware rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.

 

Wy-Hit-Tuk means “river”" in the Native American language of the Lenape, the American Indians who lived throughout the Delaware River Basin at the time of European contact.
