This fine set of stone stairways stretches both directions from a landing atop it, which can be accessed from the main road into the Parkway. The photos are ordered to present a panoramic view. Is is located in the eastern portion of the parkway and can be accessed from Jefferson St (the southern extension of 15th st). The Little Lehigh was modeled after Fairmont Park in Philadelphia.
