Early to mid-August is the best time to travel to Pennsylvania’s Lancaster County. That’s when the scenery is spectacular with green and gold fields, colorful flowers and scenes of Amish people on the roads and in farmers’ markets.

For eating, especially Pennsylvania Dutch family style in quaint restaurants, the fantastic food is freshly harvested from nearby farms. Take your cameras to record the colorful people and sights in such quaint towns as Ephrata, Bird in Hand and Intercourse.
