Friday, October 30, 2026 at 10:45 am
Meet at Bowman's Hill Tower, River Rd (Rt 32) and Lurgan Rd, New Hope, PA 18938

Tower $10 / Preserve $12 ($9 for 65+) plus $3 for the guided walk / lunch on your own tab - please bring cash

Let's catch peak fall color in Bucks County from the best seat in the house! Bowman's Hill Tower is 125 feet of stone on a hill above the Delaware, and on a clear day you can see 14 miles. We'll meet in the tower lot at 10:45 and head up at 11. Ride the elevator or take the steps, your call :)
From there it's lunch together at Bowman's Tavern, just down River Road. Then we'll walk it off at 2:00 with a 90-minute guided walk at Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve, where a naturalist will show us what the woods and creek are up to in the fall.
Done with lunch early? Head across the road to the Preserve and poke around until our walk starts at 2!

The plan:

• 10:45 am meet in the tower parking lot
• 11:00 am up the tower
• 11:45 am lunch at Bowman's Tavern
• 2:00 to 3:30 pm guided walk at the Preserve

Here's how it works:

• RSVP here so I know to look for you at the tower and can book enough tables for lunch
• Buy your own tower ticket ($10): https://www.washingtoncrossingpark.org/tickets/
• Buy your own Preserve admission ($12, or $9 if you're 65+) plus the guided walk ($3): https://bhwp.org/visit/plan-your-visit/hours-and-admission/
• Lunch is pay your own tab, and the tavern has free valet parking
• Need a ride or have seats to share? Sort out carpools in the event chat
• Wear comfy walking shoes and dress for the weather

Can't wait to see the view with you!
