Description
Noon time sunlight filters through the trees and illuminates autumn colors surrounding and just downstream of the Pack Saddle Covered Bridge (also known as the Doc Miller Covered Bridge) over Brush Creek on Packsaddle Road, Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Likely the most photogenic of the remaining ten covered bridges in Somerset County these small cascades add to the picturesque setting of this well-preserved bridge. Originally built in 1870, the Pack Saddle Covered Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
