The Pine Hollow Arboretum — Attraction in Town of Bethlehem

Beautiful Arboretum in the middle of a neighborhood. You will mostly see trees along the trail with the exception of the flowers at the entrance of the park. There isn't a ton of parking but I went on a weekday evening so we didn't have any trouble finding a spot. My main complaint about this place is that a lot of the trees don't have a plaque or label.

We were there nearing dusk and actually became concerned as we were way in the back and all of the little side trails kept sending us in circles. A few more markers so that we knew where we were would have made our walk much...
