It’s day 5 of our 40-day #GetOutAndGO Giveaway, featuring a $200 gift card prize from Beyond Clothing and a chance to enter for the $10,000 grand prize GO Camper package from SylvanSport.
Our fifth stop on the tour is the gorgeous Wissahickon Gorge. Only 11 miles north of Philadelphia, and with public transportation routes to and from the city, there’s no excuse to not #GetOutAndGO.
Wissahickon (pronounced just like it looks) Gorge provides visitors with 57 lush miles of hiking trails over 1,800 acres of green space, including the extremely popular Devil’s Pool.
