The town of Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania is filled with striking landscapes and a quaint downtown with Victorian architecture, earning it the nickname "America's Little Switzerland."
Over 200 years old, the historic village offers countless ways to spend your time, whether you're interested in hiking, biking, or relaxing with a glass of wine.
The town is carved in half by the Lehigh River, with downtown located on its western banks. Here, you'll find narrow streets, historic brick buildings, and lots of European charm.
Jim Thorpe is set amongst the hills of the Lehigh Gorge, offering stunning views all around. It is located so close to the mountain peaks that they appear larger than you'd expect.
