Fall in Valley Forge

Most of these leaves have probably fallen by now 
since my visit to Valley Forge National Park was a few weeks ago. 

 

This was the site of a Revolutionary War encampment 
of the Continental Army under George Washington. 


The park is beautiful any time of year - 
but most beautiful in fall with so many vibrant colors.

I have come to realize that being a Philly suburban girl 
really does have advantages. 

This field really was like a painting.
I edited with Topaz Impression to enhance that feel. 

In about an hour I can be at the beach to the east 
or mountains to the northwest. 


I can make a day trip to New York City, Baltimore Harbor or Washington DC. 
And the history - there's so much history!

Washington's Headquarters  

I just have to remind myself of these things 
with every traffic jam I encounter.

Valley Forge National Park is definitely worth the visit. 
You can drive, bike or hike through the roads and/or trails. 
There is a six mile loop that hits most of the sights.

It's amazing how close we live, yet how few times I have visited this park. Beautiful photos.

Yes the close proximity to everything sounds wonderful, but traffic...ugh...not sure I could do that.
