Details

**Meet at 6pm with 6:15pm SHARP departure**

Time for another summertime in the city hike ! This time the hike will be a combo consisting of some trails and city streets. We will begin by exploring the Lemon trail along Kelly Drive with a stop above the Bouldering Wall on Kelly Drive to take in a quick view of the city. We will circle back through Fairmount Park and then over to Fairmount neighborhood before completing our loop on the Art Museum Steps. Yes, as always, I am sure there will be a little competition to see who makes it to the top first! There will be several points of interest including the following:

  • Eastern State Penitentuary
  • Bascilla of Peter and Paul (maybe a peak inside)
  • Logans Square
  • Eakins Oval
  • Art Museum steps
  • Many more....:)

After the hike we will go to a nearby establishment in Fairmount for some food and spirits.

GEAR REQUIRED:
1- Proper footwear for combo hike: some trails and streets
2- Appropriate clothing for conditions
3- WATER or other source of hydration; snacks as needed
