Halloween Hike to the Lost Cave of the Wissahickon with Kris Soffa and Spencer Nush

Meeting at Hermitage Mansion
We recommend parking on Barnes Street and walking over, as Hermit Lane has been known to experience car break-ins.
Please note that there will not be restroom access during the service day.
Join the Wild Women of the Wissahickon on this twilight adventure to the Hermit’s Cave and learn the lore and legend of “America’s first doomsday cult”. As Halloween approaches, the veil thins as spirits cross over to roam abroad in the land. Will the Wizard Kelpius return to continue his vigil preparing for the End of Days?
Costumes, which will serve as disguises to confuse any nefarious ghouls, are highly suggested. We gather on the Hermitage porch to walk over uneven terrain in the gloaming. Bring a flashlight and maybe a camera to catch any apparitions on film! Service animals are always welcome, but no pets please.
This hike is appropriate for ages 12+.
Distance: 1 mile
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. Walks are cancelled in heavy rain or icy conditions. Service animals are always welcome. For more information contact Marisa Miller at miller@fow.org. Visit www.fow.org for updates.
