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.
