ADVANCEDUp the Wissahickon to Germantown
≈ 4,000 steps + 12 mi by car1.9 mi on foot · a full dayAdvanced · 6 stops · 800 credGetting there is not the hard part.A full day that leaves the grid behind: a rail bridge high over the Schuylkill, a stone statue and a covered bridge in the Wissahickon gorge, then the old houses of Germantown where the 1777 battle was fought. Needs a car or regional rail between the gorge and Germantown Avenue, and good shoes for the trails.
