The Wissahickon in October with Debbie Hoellein, Jim McClory, and Peter & Jill Curatolo

October 24 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Meeting at Blue Bell Field Parking Lot
There should be plenty of parking available in the lot.
There are porta potties available for use at Blue Bell Park.
Join Debbie, Jim, Jill, and Peter as we hike the Wissahickon in October. Our route will take us through areas of historical and natural points of interest, including Historic RittenhouseTown, Saylor Grove, and the site of McKinney Quarry. We hope to see some beautiful fall foliage as we wonder—why do leaves change color?
We’ll be walking over some steep and rocky trails on our approximately 4 mile route, 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.
Distance: 4 miles
Level: Difficult (many inclines and declines, uneven surfaces)
Registration is required for all hikes so that participants can be informed of weather or other emergency cancellations.
Unless otherwise specified, Trail Ambassador Walks may be on rocky, rugged trails that may be wet and slippery. Wear sturdy shoes or boots with socks. Walks are cancelled in heavy rain or icy conditions. Service animals are always welcome. For more information contact Marisa Miller at miller@fow.org. Visit www.fow.org for updates.
