“… In a mountain greenery
Where God paints the scenery
Just two crazy people together
While you love your lover
Let blue skies be your coverlet …”
~ “Mountain Greenery”
~ popular song composed by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Lorenz Hart
for the 1926 musical “The Garrick Gaieties,” first performed on stage by Sterling Holloway
~ recorded by artists including Bing Crosby, Mel Torme, Ella Fitzgerald & Tony Bennett
Shades of green color the bloomin’ Kittatinny Ridge – also called Blue Mountain – as it ascends toward a bright blue sky on a beautiful spring afternoon in late May along the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail) near the East Penn Township Trailhead in Bowmanstown, Pennsylvania.
Running from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and Delaware rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.
