Join Fairmount Park Conservancy for a thirsty Thursday guided hike along the Trolley Trail on June 13 from 6:00–8:00 PM.
Learn about the history of the Trolley Trail and see its old bridges and tunnels on this guided loop hike. We'll end at Parks on Tap at the Belmont Plateau where we'll be greeted by a lovely view of the city skyline.
This social hike series is a great way to get out on the trails and meet new people over cold drinks. Parks on Tap is a popular traveling beer garden that visits the city’s various neighborhood parks. Proceeds from Parks on Tap benefit the Park Friends Network.
TICKETS: $15
