3 Reasons to Love an Urban Hike
February 11, 2023
Whether you’re exploring trails in a city park or just walking on the sidewalks, here are 3 reason to love an urban hike.
- Convenient
- Unless you live up in the mountains, an urban (or suburban) hike is right at your doorstep.
- Snacks – why not make a day of it and duck into a restaurant, walk up to a take-out window, or hit the convenience store on the corner. Snacks are awesome and you don’t have to bring your own on an urban hike.
- New perspectives
- Whether you map out your route, find a trail in a city park, or just wander the streets, you’ll likely find a new vantage point to view everyday landmarks.
- Low Impact, High Reward
- Because trails are usually well-maintained and accessible (if you have specific needs, check this out beforehand) these hikes can accommodate a range of needs. You’ll still get a good workout in, so be prepared.
