Hiking with Veterans in the Wissahickon on August 23

On August 23 at 10:45am, we will hike with veterans in the Wissahickon region of Fairmount Park.  The hike will begin at Valley Green Inn, follow Forbidden Drive and another trail , and a final leg along Rex Ave to Germantown Ave in  Chestnut Hill, where we will have a bite to eat.  Public transportation will be available in Chestnut Hill. 

The hike is 2 miles long; half of it is flat along Forbidden Drive, and the latter half climbs from the Wissahickon Valley up to Chestnut Hill, initially on a trail, then a cobblestone street, and finally, on a paved street. The total climb is ~300 feet in elevation, most of it over about a half mile starting from mile marker 1.  So it's a good climb toward the end to the hike.
