VALLEY FORGE HIKE (yellow springs lot) - 5 miles; and Pizza/Cheesesteaks (BYOB)
詳細
MOVING TO THURSDAY DUE TO WEATHER!!
6PM earlier start.... Sunset is at 7:30PM so we will do the slightly shorter/steeper route on this trail, up Wolfinger Trail, around Washington's Headquarters, and then up and over Mount Joy.
This is an intermediate 5 mile hike (not for beginners), and we will move at a moderate/fast pace of about 3.3mph, and unfortunately with the parking restrictions, we can't wait for slower hikers since we need to finish before dark. There are two fairly large hill climbs on this Mount Misery/Mount Joy hike, so you need to be in pretty decent shape, and the rocky terrain requires hiking shoes. We need to keep a good pace to be able to finish before dark. We will start hiking at 6:00PM, and plan for this to take a little over an hour to finish (we need to finish by 7:30 or it will be dark).
As of now, the meeting spot will be the parking lot at the "Yellow Springs Trail Parking Lot" which is the trailhead. Google calls this address "1700 Wilson Rd, Malvern, PA 19355" although it is not exactly in Malvern. I will post an update to move to the other parking lot if we have too many RSVPs.
This is a "dog friendly" hike, if your dog will keep up and is friendly with other dogs, but you can not bring your dog afterwards unless it can stay in the car while we eat/drink. Your dog is your responsibility and needs to be on a leash in order to join on our hikes (I hate this rule too but we need to comply with it).
FOOD AND DRINK AFTERWARDS (BYOB):
We will go to HG Coal Fired Pizza for some pizza, cheesesteaks, etc which is only about 5 minutes away. I recommend the "Chesterbrook Salad". Dogs can not come inside. We can bring alcoholic beverages.
