Wissahickon Rim to Rim to Rim - with a coffee reward - 8 - 10 miles

Details

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 a great coffee stop! We will visit some of the 'less travelled' trails in the park as we start on the east side rim in Carpenters Woods, cross the creek to reach the west side rim at the 100 steps, and then cross over Lincoln Drive to visit the trails along the 'third rim' at the southern end of the park. We will take a detour off the trail for a mid hike coffee break at Wirlybird Coffee (part of Wissahickon Brewing Company)before finishing up back on the east side of the creek.

Trails are rocky and there are hills! We will keep a moderate pace. Anticipated hike time 3.5 - 4.5 hours depending on the pace of the group.

Bring along plenty of water and snacks and dress for the weather. Steady rain cancels - if in doubt please check status by 6:30am the day of the hike or contact leader with questions.

Logistics - we will meet at the corner of Greene Street and S Mount Pleasant Road. There is street parking in the vicinity. No rest rooms until the coffee shop so please plan accordingly.
