Hike the Rolling Hills

Last hike of the Annual Winter Treks

Saturday, February 18 at 10:00 am

Rolling Hill Park 1301 Rose Glen Road, Gladwyne

Join Lower Merion Conservancy staff on a hike back in time to discover the mills, mansions, and farms that once existed in this 103-acre public park. Moderately steep trails lead hikers downhill on an old ghost road to a creekside path beside towering stone ruins, where we’ll discuss how over 250 years of Main Line human and natural history can be connected back to our local waterways.

Wear sturdy walking shoes and meet in the public parking lot in Rolling Hill Park. Following the hike, we’ll warm up in the Conservancy’s restored 1896 cottage
