George Washington's headquarters during the encampment at Valley Forge.

Valley Forge National Historical Park spans approximately 3,500 acres of meadows and woods adjacent to the Schuylkill River. It was historically sheltered George Washington's 12,000-man Continental Army during the brutal winter of 1777–78. Today, visitors can enjoy historic sites and monuments, a visitor center, programs, trails, outdoor activities, picnicking, and wildlife viewing, all of which are available free of charge.

This is the eastern entry to Washington‘s Headquarters at Valley Forge National Park. If you would like to visit, bikes must be locked up, and you can walk around and see the historic buildings that were General George Washington's Headquarters during the Revolutionary War. If you don't want to go inside, this area also has a great view of the Schuylkill River and the surrounding the surrounding woods. It is also the end of the Chapel Trail.

Varnum's Quarters is a two-story stone house on the property. The Stephens family owned the house, but General Varnum and six of his staff quartered in the house during part of the war.

Best section of this loop hike was along the eastern side of Skippack Creek. The trail was littered with fallen leaves and being elevated above the creek, it allowed for better views.

This remote part of the Fort Washington State Park is quiet and rarely used. It’s a good place for a solitary hike or MTB ride. I coined this The Lost Dog Wilds in honor of my dog, who as a pup ran off after a herd of deer, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. After a thorough search, we thought she was lost for sure. Clever pup found her way home several hours later.
