Meeting at the Northwestern Avenue and Forbidden Drive Kiosk
Join Debbie, Jim, and Irene as we hike the northern part of the Wissahickon in March. We’ll be staying on the north side of Bells Mill Road, walking in Andorra Natural Area, and on the Orange Trail on the east side of Wissahickon Creek. Our route includes both loops in Andorra Meadow and the wooded area and passes the benches of 3 special people. We’ll see the remnants of the nursery Andorra once was and look for signs of emerging Spring. We may even try out some magnets as we approach Bells Mill Road. And of course, there are always points of historical interest. The route includes a steep incline in Andorra Natural Area and a particularly rocky area on the Orange Trail, so come prepared.
Children 12 years of age and older are welcome when accompanied by an adult, but, please—no dogs except for service animals.
Distance: 4 miles
Level: Difficult (many inclines and declines, uneven surfaces)
