The Wissahickon in December with Debbie Hoellein and Jim McClory
December 29, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Meet at North Mt. Pleasant Place Trailhead
Join Debbie and Jim as we hike the Wissahickon in December. When we last did this hike in May, we went looking for frogs, but in winter we expect them to be at the bottom of the pond. We’ll see what flora and fauna are visible in early winter. We’ll also be visiting some historical points of interest, walking through a work of art, and admiring some beautiful rocks. Expect some rocky ascents and descents on our 3.5-4 mile route. Children 12 years of age and older are welcome when accompanied by an adult, but please, no dogs other than service animals.
Distance: ~3.5 miles
Level:~Difficult (many inclines and declines, uneven surfaces)
