Organizer’s description
Take a Hike! Join the crew for a hike along a DIFFERENT ROUTE of the Wissahickon Trail from Valley Green Inn. Agenda - Take Note! Park visitors will be able to access parking to the Valley Green Area, as well as via Wises Mill Road off Henry Ave in Roxborough. 8:45 a.m. - Meet and Greet at the bench next to the Valley Green Inn - this is a popular location so give yourself a few minutes to find parking! 9:00 a.m. - WE ARE LEAVING! Not kidding, don't miss us! I cannot get a signal in this area unfortunately. 10:30 a.m. - End of hike (approximately) We're going to take a different route along the White Trail to see two features of Fairmount Park: The Statue of Tedyuscung and the Thomas Mill Bridge, the last remaining covered bridge in Philadelphia. This route totals approximately 3.5 miles and will last about 90 minutes. THIS EVENT IS MONTHLY, BUT IS CONTINGENT UPON THE WEATHER & MAY BE CANCELLED SHOULD THERE BE LIGHTNING A Fun Challenge If you're looking for a fun challenge, this is it! Nature will be all over you by the time we're done. This is a great event to talk and get to know other members. WARNING: Our hike is not a flat-terrain walk like the path along Kelly Drive; this is moderate hike. The trails are hilly and will take us into wooded areas, so I wouldn't recommend this for someone with serious joint problems.
