REI Lunch Ft Washington Hike

REI (map)

Selected By: Sidney G

Still getting your winter gear together? Not sure what you need? We're meeting at REI Conshohocken at 11am during their winter sale. Along with the REI sales staff, I'll let you know the best things to buy and if you are getting a good price.

Afterwards at around noon we will head over to Whole Foods Plymouth Meeting which is about 5-10 minutes away for lunch. They have an incredible buffet: the best I've seen in Philly. Meet inside near coffee and cafeteria. Google Map Link: http://local.google.c...

At around 1pm we will head over to Ft Washington State Park, about 10 minutes away, meeting at the Hawk Watch Observation Tower right off of Miliitia Rd for a 2 hour hike. Terrain is flat and easy. Google Map Link: http://local.google.c...

You can also carpool with someone who knows the way.

To carpool from Hill House (201 W Evergreen, 19118) meet at 1030am. Make sure to email me 3-4 days in advance and receive a reply. Here's a Google Map link to Hill House.

Always good idea to bring some food and your camera.

If the weather is iffy I'll email a weather report a few days before the hike. Winter rains are less tolerable than summer rains, so a little rain in cold weather can cancel a hike. Snow on the other hand can be real nice. To read more about the weather visit: http://www.hikingarou...

Have your event fee ready in dollar bills so we can quickly start. You can pay a one time calendar year fee between $5-$10. For more info visit: http://www.hikingarou...

Please be aware of our group rating system. We need a 5 star rating or no rating. Read more about this at: http://www.hikingarou...

If you change your mind please change your RSVP. No-shows may be barred from events. Email or call if you have a problem.

Okay to bring fido. Please read the Doggy Page first: http://www.hikingarou...

    This was my first hike with this group. Our fearless leader, Sidney, is patient, knowledgable and sweet. The snow was beautiful and the bare trees and the creek made for a peaceful walk. The company and conversations were enjoyable. This hike was a nice and easy re-introduction to hiking for me. Perfect!
