Big Rocks, Big Trees Part 2 with Lisa Myers and Debra Brackett

February 21 @ 9:00 am - 11:30 am

Meeting at Hermit Lane Trailhead Kiosk (see map here)
Some of the biggest Tulip trees in the Wissahickon await you on this 3.5 mile hike using a lesser traveled footpath in the Lower Wissahickon. On the way we will see other Wissahickon iconic landmarks such as Kelpius Cave and 100 Steps. Along the paved bike path, we will observe large gneiss exposures and different tree species. This hike is intended for adults, and please leave pets at home (except service animals)
Distance: 3.5 miles
Difficulty Level: Difficult (many inclines and declines, uneven surfaces)
Audience: Ages 18+
Parking: Please park on Barnes Street and walk over rather than parking next to the trailhead, as car break-ins are known to occur along Hermit Lane.
Restrooms: There will not be bathroom access during our hike.
Registration is required for all events 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.
