Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway

 

  

Driving Tour to Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway
We will drive to the quaint town of Jim Thorpe, PA and board the train for a scenic tour through the Lehigh Gorge.  This 70 minute ride in open sided, but covered train cars offers great panoramic views along the entire route.  The Victorian town of Jim Thorpe, named after one of the most famous American athletes of all time, is consistently ranked on national media “Best” lists and recognized among the most fun, most beautiful, most romantic and best adventure town to visit.   Because Jim Thorpe consists of many small shops and restaurants, none large enough to handle everyone on our Porsche Parade tours, lunch will be on your own at one of the fine small restaurants in town within walking distance of the train station.  Restaurant choices include: Molly Maguires Pub and Steakhouse, Bonnie and Clyde Pub and Grill, and Marion Hose Bar.  Tour spots include St. Mark’s Church and the Asa Packer Mansion.  Since the return trip is on your own, there should be ample time to take in the sights of this historic town before heading back to Kalahari.
