What To Expect
New York City (Pass By)
Today we will depart from New York and drive to the Swiss town of Pennsylvania - Jim Thorpe, where we will spend a pleasant day. In addition to the classic European-style buildings that make the town retro and chic, there are also many boutiques, including antique bookstores and modern and fashionable art shops. The small train in the town is particularly worth mentioning. When the train slowly drives out and shuttles through the intoxicating orange, yellow, red and green scenery, it seems like walking into a fairy tale. You can enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Lehigh River, the green forest and the wildlife park. Finally, drive back to New York.Itinerary:New York → Jim Thorpe (3.5 hours, you can take a train at your own expense to explore the beautiful mountain scenery of Pennsylvania) → New York
Jim Thorpe
The Jim Thorpe town originated from a legendary American athlete of the same name. He is the only double gold medalist in the pentathlon and decathlon in Olympic history. The town is known as the "Switzerland of America". Here you can experience the small train, which takes 70 minutes to travel through the intoxicating orange, yellow, red and green scenery. The town's Victorian-style buildings are set off by the mountains behind them, making them more retro and lovely. As the train drives towards Canyon Park, the fresh natural breath hits you. Let you immerse yourself in the charming town scenery and mountains and waters brought by the retro train.
