City Night Hike: Ben Franklin Bridge at sunset!

Details

We're going to meet at OLD CITY BEER GARDEN and then walk to the Ben Franklin Bridge to catch the sunset at 8:10

We'll meet outside Old City Beer Garden at 6:45, hiking by 7, with or without you
I will be at the bar early, like 5:30, for anyone that wants to meetup early to chat and get a drink before the hike - this is a great time and opportunity to meet others from the group and chat before we walk!

We'll have amazing views if the sky is clear but we'll still hike if it's cloudy, but will cancel for rain
(the views from the bridge are great regardless of weather)

and we'll hike at about 3 miles an hour - stop to take pictures but try to keep up and catch up as needed, you can't get lost on the bridge

We'll need to be off the bridge by 9pm so we'll be able to enjoy the views and take some pics but can't delay too long

After the bridge, we'll continue down along the river stopping at Race Street Pier for a minute and then Cherry Street Pier for a bathroom stop then to South Street and then end up back at Old City Beer Garden for anyone that wants to keep hanging out
Dress appropriately for the weather

Total distance will be ABOUT 6 miles, depends on how far across the bridge we actually go

Parking: park near Old City Beer Garden, there may be street parking on Market, Chestnut, Walnut or 3rd or 4th street, there are also a few parking lots around the area - I can't recommend any one over another
