The Wissahickon Valley
Here are a few more photos from Saturday’s trip to the Wissahickon valley in Fairmount Park.
From yesterday’s post:
Fairmount Park is no secret in Philadelphia. Consisting of 63 parks over 9,200 acres, the park system covers 10 percent of the city’s land, but makes for very different experiences, depending upon the places you visit.

Wissahickon Creek
Fairmount Park is no secret in Philadelphia. Consisting of 63 parks over 9,200 acres, the park system covers 10 percent of the city’s land, but makes for very different experiences, depending upon the places you visit.
Yesterday, we took a walk down Forbidden Drive, along the Wissahickon Creek, in the northwestern section of the park and the city.
Auto traffic is forbidden except for a couple of parking areas, so you will see nothing but walkers, hikers, bikers and an occasional rider on horseback.
Except for the occasional intrusion of air traffic passing overhead, it’s easy to forget you are in the fourth-largest urban area in America.
