Meeting at the parking lot on Magdalena Street across from the Walnut Lane Golf Club Join Debbie and Jim as we hike the Wissahickon in October. We hope to see some beautiful fall color during our walk. We’ll observe what our favorite plants look like this time of year and may even see some Osage oranges and a flowering native euonymus. Toleration is on our route along with some other points of historical interest. Our approximately 3.5-4 mile route includes some steep and rocky inclines and descents. Children 12 years of age and older are welcome when accompanied by an adult, but please, no dogs other than service animals. Distance: 3.5-4 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. Register below!
