ATC Hike 8: Lavender Loop with Trish Fries, Doug Gibson, Peter Curatolo, and Jill Curatolo

Meeting at the Bells Mill Road East Parking Lot (see map here)
Parking is available at our meeting location or further up Bells Mill at the Forbidden Drive Upper Parking Lot.
There are porta-potties available for use on Forbidden Drive near our meeting location.
This hike is a part of our All Trails Challenge (ATC) hike series, presented by Newrez LLC, geared for Challengers to rack up miles and explore different areas of the park on each hike. Join us for all 15 parts and you’re well on your way to hitting all 50+ miles of trails in Wissahickon Valley Park. Not a Challenger? No problem. This hike is open to the public.
Enjoy the lovely and little-known Lavender Trail in the north of the park!
Distance: 2.4 miles
