Meeting at Blue Bell Park
One reason we like hiking in the winter is that you can see clear across the Wissahickon. Join Debbie, Jim, and Terry on our first hike this winter season when we will not only see lovely vistas, but also how the flora changes with the cold weather, while beautiful rocks stay the same. And what type of fauna will we encounter in January? Our route to the other side of Lincoln Drive takes us through Historic Rittenhouse Town, and the site of the McKinney Quarry and Saylor Grove.
This approximately 4 mile route has some rocky ascents and descents. Children 12 years of age and older are welcome when accompanied by an adult, but no dogs except for service animals, please.
Distance: 4 miles
Level: Difficult (many inclines and declines, uneven surfaces)
Registration is required for all hikes so that participants can be informed of weather or other emergency cancellations.
Unless otherwise specified, Trail Ambassador Walks may be on rocky, rugged trails that may be wet and slippery. Wear sturdy shoes or boots with socks.
