5 Moderately Difficult miles
Join our group as we hike through some of the well-marked trails of the Monocacy Hill’s 428 acres. We will be going down to the creek with the charming waterfall and up to the peak with the beautiful views of the valley. We may also go by landmarks like the never-used railroad trestle and the homestead of Sallie Shirey. Hiking boots and poles are recommended as the climb is a bit rocky. For those who don’t wish to climb to the peak, an alternative path that meets up on the other side is a possibility.
Lunch at Vincenzo’s after hike https://www.vincenzosristorante.org/ 1333 Old Swede Rd, Douglassville 610-689-8000.
