- The Wissahickon Valley Park, or the Wiss as us locals call it, is home to the best mountain biking in Philadelphia and likely one of the best urban trail systems in the US. Located just a few miles from downtown Philadelphia, The Wiss has nearly 30 miles of single and double track that comprise a loop which follows the walls of valleys created by the Wissahickon and Creshiem Creeks. There is terrain for all skill levels ranging from recently built flow to more old school rocky tech with everything in between. It's super easy to navigate, as you can always drop down to Forbidden Drive, a wide gravel path that follows the creek from one end to the other, which allows for a bail out to get back to the car.
This footage was from a ride back in April of 2019 and I plan to do a few more to try and showcase the many great descents and segments of this wonderful park.

What trail systems were you running?
This video was from a number of sections on the south end of the park. If there's a specific section you're curious about, comment with the time in the video and I can send Strava segments
Great video!!! What model Giant Trance is that?
Thanks! It's a 2019 Trance Advanced 2...I have a 2015 TA 1, but I broke the frame in late 2018 and Giant and Philly Bikesmith hooked me up with a great deal for a replacement. The '19 was a huge improvement on an already good platform.
