Details
Snapshot:
Intensity/Classification: Moderate
Length: 6 miles
Duration: 2+ hours
Estimated Average Pace: 3.2-3.5 mph
Elevation: negligible
Description:
Join me for a new location and route for our weekly night hike. We will begin our adventure by walking through the beautiful Haverford College campus. There is a mix of paved and dirt paths here, but no notable rocks roots. From here we will cut through some of the back roads of the Mainline to make our way over to the aesthetically pleasing Bryn Mawr College campus. Total mileage will be around 6 miles with a moderate + pace along the way.
GEAR REQUIRED:
1- Proper footwear- Sneakers ok for this hike.
2- Appropriate clothing for conditions: layers, wind and rain protection based upon forecast.
3- WATER or other source of hydration; food/snacks as needed
4- Electrolytes if needed
5- Hiking poles and backpacks as needed.
6- Sunscreen, bug spray as desired
WEATHER: Fair or light rain event. Heavy rain, wind or storms will cancel.
PARKING AND MEETING LOCATION: We will meet in the back parking lot of Chase Bank located at the intersection of Haverford Station Rd and Lancaster Ave. Address of bank is 396 West Lancaster Ave.
I am not advising parking here as I would assume there is no parking here for non customers. Parking is tricky in this area with the college and shops having strict no parking. So, there is some street parking across Lancaster on Berkley Rd. and surrounding streets. Or a better option would be the Haverford Septa station lot. Note there is a small fee to park here. About 1 block away from Chase Bank.

- Unless otherwise posted, friendly well behaved dogs are welcome on hikes. Simply ask that you follow leash guidelines and post in comments so other attendees know a dog will be there. NOTE: some hikes may involve rock scrambles or conditions not suitable for a dog. In addition, some places we hike do not allow animals. It is your responsibility to read description carefully and make appropriate decision as well as ensure place we are hiking at allows animals.
