Discover the Wissahickon: Rolling Ridge Hike
Meeting at Saylor’s Grove Trailhead Kiosk (view location on Google Maps)
Our Discover the Wissahickon hike series is presented by Newrez.
Join Trail Ambassadors Dave Bonar, Doug Gibson, and Claire McGrath for a morning hike down one of the park’s least traveled trails, the East Falls Trail. We’ll start at Saylor’s Grove and hike south all the way to Ridge Avenue, where we’ll cross over the Wissahickon Creek and travel back up the paved bike path. Along our trek, we’ll pass by the Kelpius Cave, Lover’s Leap, Ten Box, and Historic RittenhouseTown.
