Jim Thorpe maybe one of the smallest towns in Pennsylvania, I think but it's very peaceful up there and relaxing, also they're always trying to make that little place up there much better and the scenery is fantastic. A lot of people ask me how do I know, I used to live up there and I used to go to school there. Haven't been up there probably a good 20 years I will say. The fall time is the best time to go up, with the trees and the leaves turning because of the weather amazing up there. Mom Chunk lake is a good place to go too, have your little picnics or just to relax or even do some fishing biking or just spending time with the family and friends. Maybe it's time to take a trip up there before the the snow and the colder weather comes. It is wonderful during the holidays up there, especially December.

@JoseOnTour 2 года назад

It’s such a small town but generates so much traffic because of the activities. Traveling to Jim Thorpe seems like such an amazing getaway and you’re right, fall foliage is a spectacular time to visit. A lot of great festivals and local markets in the surrounding areas too. Pennsylvania fall is beautiful.

That would be a great trip. When you search online it looks like it goes steeply downhill from White haven to Jim Thorpe but the ride is very pleasant.The train doesn’t have a stopping point it just does a loop around. At lead thats what it did when we were on.

@shawneldridge4465 2 года назад

Jim Thorpe is a nice and safe quiet little town to live in. I used to live up there off and on for years. The thing is if you don't drive then you should not live up there, it's not like other areas where you could just hop on the bus and go. There are a quite a few things to do up in this area, you just have to do your research. The monk Chunk lake is a great place to visit, we could do bike riding, walk along the lake or have a nice little picnic up there or you could just go up to relax and enjoy the scenery. It looks like Jim Thorpe had changed a lot since the last time I was there, it was probably 17 years give or take maybe. I miss riding the train. But for those of you who want to travel and visit some nice quiet places, Jim Thorpe is one of those places to visit. Just don't go up there during the holidays, it will be so packed plus the traffic it's crazy up there but it is worth it I will say that. I miss watching Jim Thorpe's Halloween parades and I love how they decorate the place up there for Christmas.

Nice video but JT is Switzerland of America, not PA. The Mollie Maguires we’re a group in Ireland that fought the landlords. Some believe they never existed in PA but were made up by the Pinkertons to break the labor unions. It’s a beautiful place but if you don’t like crowds don’t go on weekends in October. Asa Packer founded Lehigh University. Many of the restaurant and shop owners are not native Mauch Chunkers. My husband grew up there.
