10-23-14 Poconos Fall Foliage Peak Time

Fall Foliage Mountain BikingGather your friends and head to the Poconos this weekend!

The fall foliage season is peaking right now and the air is fresh with the smell of fallen leaves during this amazing time of year. Come and rent an awesome mountain bike and tour the great Lehigh Gorge Rail Trail. It is world famous and has many miles to explore. Spectacular scenery and roaring rapids await you in the Lehigh Gorge. Remember to bring your camera for this trail. You’ll click the shutter more than a few times as you follow the Lehigh River along its rocky escarpments. A 30+ mile, crushed stone, multi-use trail is available for hiking opportunities. Several interpretive displays explain the lock system of the Lehigh Canal along the way.

Nothing signals the advent of autumn in Pennsylvania like the changing color of the state’s landscape, when entire forests transform into glittering displays of reds, yellows and purples. The mountain biking scene in PA is the best of the best in the Poconos offer beginner through expert trail riding. So take a trip to the Poconos and discover the the fall colors in PA and take a fall foliage tour on a mountain bike getting a workout at the same time.

Pocono Bike Rentals is located in White Haven, PA and the place to begin your biking adventure. It is the epicenter of all the Poconos Outdoor Mountain Activity from Whitewater Rafting to Skiing, hiking, horse back riding and so much more.
