SUMMARY:Wissahickon Valley Park Rim to Rim\, Part Two with Lisa Kleiman\, Debra Brackett\, and Sheryl Rose
DESCRIPTION:Photo courtesy of Melvin Chappell\nMeeting at 100 Steps\n 100 Steps by Gordon Henderson\nHiking 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.\nWe 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.\nThe 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.\nDistance: 5.5-6.5 miles\nLevel: Difficult (many inclines and declines\, uneven surfaces)\nRegistration is required for all hikes so that participants can be informed of weather or other emergency cancellations. \nUnless 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.
