Meet at Historic Rittenhouse Town Kiosk

“Thanks to impermanence, everything is possible” – Thich Nhat Hanh “Contemplating impermanence helps us to touch freedom and happiness in the present moment.” – Hanh The Wissahickon is ever-changing. Fallen leaves give way to beautiful vistas. Mountain ranges erode into gorges and valleys with running water. Eroded stone becomes beautiful Wissahickon gems. Walk with us as we explore the peaceful Wissahickon Valley as fall gives way toward winter.
