Magic Hour Adventures

Join us for an inspiring hike as the sun rises over Valley Forge Park. We meet at 6:30am on the 3rd Friday of every month (barring bad weather) and head off at 6:32am sharp.

A moderate 3+ miles - includes over 700 feet of elevation gain - we typically get back by 8-8:15am. Parking at Knox Quarters parking lot near the Knox Covered Bridge on 252. Text me if you have questions 215-783-8118 Chris.

We sometimes head to the G-Lodge or Nudy's for breakfast (bring cash) afterwards.

Check for announcements by 8 PM the night before if weather is threatening.

Meet on the glorious mansion patio to watch the sunrise, then jump into a rather easy 1.8+ mile walk/hike exploring 47 acres surrounding this Main Line mansion. There is a small hill and expect steps, some roots and some rocks. Great views of the Darby Creek.

Main Line Hump Day Hikes: This summer, I'll re-launch a series of Wednesday happy hour hikes on the Main Line. For the most part these are going to be easier, flatter routes than usual - and roughly 1 hour… Many I'm exploring for the first time with you :-)

NEW - music in the woods afterwards read on

2:00 Hike: Social/moderate 2 1/2 mile hike with views of the Love Valley and Reading - this is considered moderate on AllTrails with 500+ elevation gain depending on the route we take.

4:00 Canopy Concert: Then for those that want to join us - travel just five minutes to Rivertribe Outdoors for a rather mellow concert in the woods. Unique experience. Plenty of parking. There will be food and beer vendors. Bring a chair/blanket.

Tickets for concert ($15, may sell out) https://facebook.com/events/s/rivertribe-outdoors-presents-c/4129729427259382/
