The Wissahickon: A Cultural Inspiration – Part One with Lisa Kleiman & Jean McWilliams
Meet at Rex Avenue Trailhead
Come join us for a trek along the Wissahickon trails as we explore the films and television programs, the paintings, the literature and the music that have drawn inspiration from the Wissahickon and rooted it in American culture. We will hike both Forbidden Drive and the wooded trails of the northern portion of the park, stopping at points of interest to note and appreciate their cultural significance. We will try to maintain a moderate pace. Note that the terrain is hilly and uneven in spots, so plan your footwear accordingly.
Level: Moderate (some inclines and declines, uneven surfaces)
Distance: ~5 miles
