16 - 17 miles. Depart from corner of 16th & JFK Blvd. outside Suburban Station at 8:30 AM. Return to Philadelphia by train at the end of the day. Hikers may take the Chestnut Hill West train into the city to start the hike. A classic Batona hike on the last day of winter. We traverse Fairmount Park and find good hiking on remote trails within the largest city park in the world. Terrain is level to hilly and rocky. For those who are interested there will be a stop at a local Chestnut Hill brew pub following the hike. Ice or heavily accumulating snow cancels. Cost: $1.00 plus train fare.
