Join Debbie Hoellein, Jim McClory, Brenda Rich, and Paul Neumann as we hike the Wissahickon during the last days of spring. We’ll be visiting the Frog Pond again. In April we only saw a couple of frogs, but we’ll see what they’re doing and saying in the middle of June. Glen Fern, Fingerspan Bridge, and Monastery Stables are also on our route. And, of course, we’ll appreciate many plants.
The second half of this 3.5-4 mile hike is more difficult than our usual hikes. We will be climbing some steep steps (without a railing) to get up to Fingerspan, and scrambling over some rocks on either side of the bridge, and later on. The Orange trail is rocky and wet in areas south of Fingerspan. So be prepared! Children 12 years of age and older are welcome when accompanied by an adult, but, please, no dogs except for service animals.
Registration is required for all events so that participants can be informed of weather or other emergency cancellations.
