“Winter is in my head, but spring
is in my heart.”
~ Victor Hugo
~ 1802-1885
There’s sugar on the mountain and
sugar on the trail as snow beautifies the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor
(D&L Trail) that hugs the Kittatinny Ridge at Lehigh Gap on a January
afternoon in this monochrome shot.
In
the shadow of the Kittatinny Ridge, also called Blue Mountain, The Lehigh Gap
in Slatington, Pennsylvania, is a crossroads where the Lehigh Gap Nature
Center’s trails connect two historic trails – the Appalachian Trail and the
D&L Trail.
The
Appalachian Trail, a foot path, follows the ridge on both sides of the Lehigh
Gap, running 1,245 miles south to Georgia and 930 miles north to Maine. Running
from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and
Delaware rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.
