SUMMARY:TAKE A HIKE on the Trolley Trail!
DESCRIPTION:Explore the physical remains of what is now a hidden trolley network along this 4-mile loop hike. \n\n\nDATE\nSunday\, November 12\, 2023 \n\n\n\nTIME\n10:00am – 12:30pm \n\n\n\nLOCATION\nChamounix Mansion\n3250 Chamounix Drive\nPhiladelphia\, PA 19131 \n\n\n\nJoin Fairmount Park Conservancy’s Kevin Roche on November 12 from 10:00 AM–12:30 PM for a guided hike to learn about the Trolley Trail’s fascinating past and present.
