Trails Less Traveled IV: Icons of the Lower Wissahickon with Gerry Schweiger

Most Park points of interest are on Forbidden Drive. In contrast, we will go to some less visited places on the lower Creek. We will start and finish on the Rittenhouse Trail along Lincoln Dr. In between we will visit the 100 Steps, Hermit’s Cave, Lover’s Leap and Rittenhouse Town. Time-about 2 ½ to 3 hours. There will be several strenuous climbs.

Meeting Place: Parking Lot on Gypsy Lane near Lincoln Drive (across from Wissahickon Hall).

Unless otherwise noted hikes use rocky rugged trails that may be wet, slippery, or steep. Please wear sturdy, protective shoes or boots and bring water /snacks if you want them. Children over 8 are welcome if accompanied by a responsible adult. In general walks are cancelled in the event of rain. Reservations are not required but are recommended for communication in the event of cancellation due to inclement weather.
