Valley Forge Saturday Afternoon Hike at 1PM

Join us for an enjoyable hike on trails in Valley Forge National Historical Park. The difficulty level will be moderate, with speeds about 3 mph in the easier sections, and lower in hilly and uneven sections; total distance is around 5-6 miles with elevation gain between 500 and 800 feet. Trails on Mt.Joy and/or Mt. Misery will be included as well as flatter areas. We will stop periodically, especially at the tops of hills and trail junctions so we all continue on the same hike.

Meet in the Artillery Park parking lot, at the end near the restrooms. GPS coordinates: 40.0939, -75.4490

Bring water, clothing appropriate for the weather (layers work well), sturdy footwear (hiking shoes or boots recommended), and a smile. Well-behaved dogs are welcome on a 6’ or shorter leash as required by the park.

If the hike is canceled, such as due to weather, the announcement will be made at least two hours in advance.

Please update RSVP if your plan changes. All participants need to sign a paper AMC legal waiver sheet just prior to the hike if not registered on-line in the AMC Outdoor Connector. Children under age 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, who will need to sign the agreement for them.
