Meeting at 100 Steps
100 Steps by Gordon Henderson
Hiking Rim to Rim in Wissahickon Valley Park may not offer the same ‘bragging rights’ as a rim to rim hike of the Grand Canyon, but it will surely provide you with beautiful scenery, a rewarding hike on both sides of Wissahickon Creek, wonderful views, and friendly folks to enjoy it with! Come join us for the second of our Rim to Rim hikes, this time on the south side of the park.
We will meet at the 100 Steps trailhead and hike along the yellow trail which offers great creek views. We’ll cross Wissahickon Creek and head toward Historic RittenhouseTown where we can explore the newly certified Arboretum (aided in part by FOW volunteers!). We will then cross Lincoln Drive and hike the ‘less-travelled’ trails before returning to our starting point.
The hike will be 5.5-6.5 miles with several stops to discuss points of interest. The terrain is hilly with rocks and roots. Steady rain cancels.
Distance: 5.5-6.5 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. Service animals are always welcome. For more information contact Marisa Miller at miller@fow.org. Visit www.fow.org for updates.
