Today, Pam & Larry, Marie & I did a piece of the Riverwalk that was farther north than we went the other day. Marie and I did this in 2020, so I didn't see a new piece this trip. It goes all the way to Valley Forge.
This piece goes through Fairmount Park and so is much less urban.
Interestingly, in 2020 we walked only two days later, on March 5, but the grass was already green.
The rock with trees on top is called Promontory Rock. You can see there is an opening in the rock. That's actually a tunnel the road passes through.
We walked as far as Columbia Bridge, which is a railroad bridge.
On the way back there was another nice view of the skyline.
This is the section of the river where all the crew teams practice because the water is smooth above the dam that supplies the waterworks.
After that we visited a few places, including Mia's dorm at Penn. She's on the 12th floor. I think this is looking south across the city. It looks like city forever. I just have a hard time processing that much urban space. (Let alone that the whole center part of Philadelphia is north of here.)
We walked 4 miles from the Waterworks to Columbia Bridge and back.
Miles hiked in 2025: 29.3
