Outside of the Office
A collection of short stories about my outdoor adventures - whether hiking, fishing, or exploring new places - with photos occasionally included.
Wissahickon Valley Park
Outside of the Office
My girlfriend and I were able to spend quite the lovely day hiking around the Wissahickon Valley Park trail systems. We started near the Bells Mills Rd parking area, and traversed the Yellow trail south, eventually connecting with Forbidden Drive near Valley Green Road. We crossed the bridge and took the Orange trail back until we hit Rex Ave, at which point we decided that we were no longer up to scaling rougher territory. We crossed the bridge and headed back over to Forbidden Drive to take the flat walk back.
Ricketts Glen State Park
Outside of the Office
I emphatically enjoy getting outdoors and taking a nice stroll through a wooded area. The coolness of the shade, the sounds of the birds, and the smell of honeysuckle or pine really lift the spirits. Bonus points if there is a babbling brook within earshot. For these reasons, Ricketts Glen State Park has been one of my absolute favorite hikes. Even though it's a bit out of the way for a day trip, I've made a point to visit twice.
