Five Trails, One Hike: South Wissahickon, with Debra Brackett, Jean McWilliams, and Sue Amon
October 19 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Meet at Top of 100 Steps
Did you know that the trails of the Wissahickon extend along both sides of Lincoln Drive? Join us for a loop walk that includes five major trails in the southern section of the Wissahickon. We’ll start and finish at the 100 Steps and enjoy the variety of vistas from both sides of the creek and Lincoln Drive. Along the way, we’ll observe natural and historic interest points, including the Hermit Cave and a former quarry. The route includes some steep and rocky ascents and descents and is about 4-4.5 miles long. Children 12 years of age and older are welcome when accompanied by an adult; no dogs except for service animals, please.
Distance: 4.5 miles
Level: Difficult (many inclines and declines, uneven surfaces)
