Excellent video! My wife, daughter, and in laws are driving there as I type this. My daughter is beyond excited! Due to health issues, I could not make the trip from SC. At least I got to see the video! Have a great day!!!
Great train ride but avoid fall weekend in October, I repeat avoid at any cost unless you are ok for spending 2-3hr to get parking for your car or park you car 1-2 miles away. Getting ticket on fall weekend is next to impossible due to crowd, post parking fiasco and walking 1.5mile, we had to spend another 2hrs to get ticket. So whole Saturday went spent for 45min train ride. Dont get me wrong its beautiful but not worth spending full day to get 45min train ride.
@@nicolemazza1971 do share ur experience. We were lucky to get ticket for last train ride. That too someone who was in queue before us, helped us to get ticket for us. By the time we reached near ticket counter it was closed/sold out.
Switzerland is highlighted by a mix of spectacular mountain views, green and sloping valleys, and quaint but traditional towns. Jim Thorpe does well with a parallel in abstraction; a metaphor if you will. But, perception aside...1) We didn't name Jim Thorpe "The Switzerland of America", it earned it. 2) You are seeing the "valley" (bottom) of Jim Thorpe. The lifeblood of the experience (beyond LGSRY) is upstream of our camera. May we suggest the following link as an example? www.poconomountains.com/jim-thorpe/ And, if you are feeling exceptionally energetic, please turn your attention to the Lehigh Gorge State Park which is adjacent to Jim Thorpe and is stunningly beautiful.
@@RBMN thanks I’ve been many times to both Jim Thorpe and Switzerland. Just upsetting that all of the best views in accessible by car. Nothing screams “getting away from the city” than seas of surface level parking lots.
