Meeting at Valley Green Inn (see map here)

Regardless of where you park, be sure to refrain from leaving any valuables in your car.
There will be bathroom access at the Valley Green Inn before we begin our hike.

Join Friends of the Wissahickon as we kick off the 10th annual All Trails Challenge at the Valley Green Inn with a hike, followed by drinks and snacks at the Valley Green Inn with Conshohocken Brewing Co.. Just looking for some more information about the Challenge and how to get started? Use the second of the forms below to register for just the post-hike Launch Party.

Sign up for the Challenge at or prior to the Launch Party and enjoy a drink on us and our special ATC starter pack, including your ATC Passport, where you can track all your unique miles, FOW’s brand-new, updated pocket map, and a special prize! For more information about the All Trails Challenge and to sign up, click here!

We know that hiking all 50+ miles of trail can be daunting, and perhaps you don’t know where to start! Start your Challenge on a high note by logging a few miles on this guided hike, the first of a series that will take you across the Wissahickon, led by a variety of experienced guides, during this 10-week Challenge.

Registration is required for all hikes so that participants can be informed of weather or other emergency cancellations.

Unless otherwise specified, hikes may be on rocky, rugged trails that may be wet and slippery. Wear sturdy shoes or boots with socks. Walks are cancelled in heavy rain or icy conditions. Service animals are always welcome. For more information, contact Marisa Miller at miller@fow.org. Visit www.fow.org for updates.

Our pre-party hike at 10 is sold out! Register below to party with us after.

*Due to high demand, we will be leading TWO hikes from Valley Green Inn, one southbound on Orange Trail and one northbound on White Trail! The northbound hike will be less demanding; please let us know the morning-of if you’d prefer to do the easier route.

Register here for just the Launch Party, at the Valley Green Inn at 11 AM.
