With the summer coming to an end and foliage right around the corner, it seemed like the perfect time for a trip to Shelburne Falls Massachusetts to get one last stroll down the Bridge of Flowers.
This unique walk was created in the 1920′s on an abandoned trolley bridge. Today the walk contains over 500 varieties of flowers, vines and shrubs on the 400 foot bridge.
The town of Shelburne Falls is small, but has a few shops and restaurants and is also home to the interesting glacial potholes.
The bridge of flowers is free, but supported completely by donations. Last year over 25,000 people visited the bridge.
The bridge of flowers is open from April through October, is just about 30 minutes south of our Vermont Inn, and is part of a fun afternoon of stops on our “heading south” tour that we are happy to share with you at the inn. The whole tour is about 4 hours long and includes the bridge of flowers.
Of course, this stop is best summed up in photos, so here are some shots from our trip to the bridge of flowers in September.
