#15813 Communing With Nature in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

You're strolling on a quiet forest path, winding your way through a leafy glade. Birds sing about you, and in the distance you can hear the burble of a stream... but you're in a major city. The Wissahickon Gorge cuts through the northernmost end of Philadelphia's Fairmont Park, and boasts 57 miles of hiking, biking, and horse-riding trails through 1800 acres of woodland so lush you'll forget that you're only a ten-minute bus ride from Independance Hall. Savor a serene break and a day to yourself before you jump back into the crowds fighting to see the Liberty Bell.
