Hiking Around Philly

Breakfast & Navy Yard Walk

Navy Yard in Philadelphia (map)

Selected By: Sidney G

This will be a breakfast and a 1-2 hr fun walking exploration around the Navy Yard.
No bike ride because of the weather.

This week we're doing something very special. First we're eating breakfast at the Urban Outfitters Coffee Shop Cafeteria at the Navy Yard at 915am. Park at the Cafeteria. As I said before, the Cafeteria is one of the coolest places I've ever visited. The food is great and cheap too.
Around 10am we're heading off around the Navy Yard by foot.

To carpool meet me at Hill House at 830am. Carpoolers chip in $4. Use this Google Map link to Hill House (201 W Evergreen, 19118)

Always good idea to bring some food, your camera, and on hot days a dry shirt that you can change into.
Warm weather hike info:
• Apply sunscreen before leaving home. See more about sunscreens under Files.
• Bring lots of water. Best to get a 3 liter hydration pack or reservoir. More about water: http://www.hikingarou...
• Only a forecast of thunderstorms and torrential rains will cancel a hike. A normal rain is no problem in warm weather.

color=orangered]If the weather is iffy (we'll still eat breakfast) I'll email a weather report a few days before the hike.. To see more about the weather visit: http://www.hikingarou...

Hiking Around Philly is different from most hiking groups because we hike (and sometimes bicycle) off the beaten path. We hike in the woods and the city. We go places that won't be found on any hiker's map. The events are usually within a 1.5 hour drive from Philly, though we sometimes visit NYC or the Jersey shore. Once each year we go to Acadia National Park in Maine, one of the best places in the world to hike. We sometimes participate in a conservation work party in a area we hike.

And, we do a lot more than hike; we explore. Whether it be a trail in a park or a back alley in the city, we always look for neat things, and we find them. Did you notice the 25 foot dinosaur made from pink suntan lotion bottles? We take time to appreciate a beautiful tree, a low flying eagle, or a hickory horned devil (look it up). We visit museums, historic houses, bakeries, battleships, and other neat places. We appreciate architecture, sculptures (Philly has more than any other US city, yea!), or whatever we find near our path. After a hike we often eat at a special place. And, we rarely repeat ourselves.

Fearless lost explorers and sidney (fleas) are curious. This group is not for people content to only go down one trail and up another, nor for people happy to take the same or beaten path. This group may also be different because only one person leads hikes, gets folks lost, and does the bulk of administrative work. So, please read on to make sure you want to be a proud flea.
