This hike will take in many of the most interesting sites in the Wissahickon, Valley Green Inn, Forbidden Drive, the Livezey Dam,  Gorgas Creek cave, the  Fingerspan Bridge. Will stop for a snack on the stone steps high above the creek and  continue along the stream to Devils Pool and Pee Wee rock on our return to the Inn. Suitable for children 6 and older, accompanied by an adult. Difficulty: moderate. Hiking shoes or sneakers required. Pack your snacks and drinks, and dress appropriately for the weather.

Registration is recommended for all hikes so that participants can be informed of weather or other emergency cancellations. Unless otherwise specified, Trail Ambassador hikes may use rocky, rugged trails that may be wet and slippery. Wear sturdy shoes or boots with socks. Long pants are recommended for protection against occasional poison ivy and possible ticks. Bring water and a snack if desired.
