Member's Mindful Wissahickon Cruise

Members of the CHCA and The Friends of the Wissahickon went on a mindful hike in the Wissahickon Valley Park. FOW Trail Ambassador Amy Yuter led a mindful and silent, moderate paced saunter – where they had moments to connect and share with other participants throughout our contemplative journey. Members enjoyed a full sensory experience and a crisp afternoon on the beautiful trails. This walk was most appropriate for adults and youth 16 and older. The hike began at 1pm from the trail head near the intersection of Chestnut Hill Avenue and Seminole Street (427 W. Chestnut Hill Ave) and ran approximately 1 1/2 hours. Pace was set by the group. Sturdy footwear was recommended.

Distance: ~2.5 miles

Level: Moderate (some inclines and declines, uneven surfaces)
