HikeyHikey!: Hiking Philadelphia - Wissahickon Gorge Orange Trail
http://hikeyhikey.blogspot.com/2013/04/hiking-philadelphia-wissahickon-gorge.html
Saturday, April 20, 2013. Hiking Philadelphia - Wissahickon Gorge Orange Trail. When most people think of Philadelphia, it is unlikely that hiking comes to mind. But I'm hoping this post will change that! Philadelphia is home to Fairmount Park, the largest urban park system in the United States. And the gem of the Fairmount, in this blogger's opinion, is the Wissahickon Gorge Orange Trail. Follow the orange blazes of the Wissahickon Gorge Orange Trail. You won't find outfitters in Philadelphia to shuttle...

I'm on a mission live my fullest life. Let's attack obesity together! Thursday, June 13, 2013. Pedestrian lifestyle fitness in full effect on the streets of Philadelphia. I relocated a little more than a month ago from Albuquerque, NM, to Philadelphia, PA. With the move came a dramatic shift in lifestyle. I traded in my truck for a sturdy pair of shoes, a mountain bike and a transpass. I'm finally living the pedestrian life, and I couldn't be happier! I mean, what's not to be happy about? Well, there you...

Thursday, April 25, 2013. Hiking Philadelphia - Wissahickon Gorge White Trail. Statue of the last Lenni-Lenapi chief, at Council Rock, along the White Trail. A rocky incline along the White Trail, high above Wissahickon Creek. The White Trail parallels the Orange Trail. For the most part. The White Trail, or the "high trail" climbs up and down the walls of the Wissahickon Gorge and involves a water crossing at Cresheim Creek, making it a bit more strenuous than the longer Orange Trail. The White Trail is...

As the Raccoon Trail comes to an end you will have finally re...

Monday, November 12, 2012. Hiking Joshua Tree National Park - Ryan Mountain Trail. You could spend days wandering around Joshua Tree National Park, but if you only have one I suggest you hike Ryan Mountain. This 3-mile out-and-back hike is a bit strenuous, but not overly so. Today I saw everyone from kids to retired folks and everyone in between enjoying the Ryan Mountain Trail. And let me tell you, the payoff for reaching Ryan's summit - the second highest in the park - is extreme. Turn right to get bac...
