Meeting at Mt. Airy Avenue Trailhead (see map here)

There is plenty of street parking nearby on W Mt. Airy Avenue and Mt. Airy Terrace.
There will be a bathroom along our route.

This hike is a part of our All Trails Challenge (ATC) hike series, presented by Newrez LLC, geared for Challengers to rack up miles and explore different areas of the park on each hike. Join us for all 15 parts and you’re well on your way to hitting all 50+ miles of trails in Wissahickon Valley Park. Not a Challenger? No problem. This hike is open to the public.

Get some valley time on the White Trail, then follow Forbidden Drive back for a solid four-mile hike!

Distance: 4.1 miles
