Fall Hike at Valley Forge Park - Valley Stream/Mount Joy

Join us to experience some of the best hiking in our region. We will journey past historic farm houses, Tredyffrin's historic Knox Covered Bridge, along Valley Stream and visit Washington’s Headquarters at the halfway point of the hike, followed by hiking Mount Joy, which offers varied terrain, forest flora and fauna.

This gathering (children welcome!) will include a guide at the front and rear to accommodate different rates of enjoyment. The trail can be steep and rocky in sections. Bottled water and granola/energy bars will be provided.
