January City Hike

Please help keep city hikes enjoyable for everyone: pick up after yourself and your pet, stay on official trails and out of natural and sensitive habitats, and be mindful of our community by keeping voices down. If you’re listening to music or audio, please use headphones so other trail users can enjoy their own experience.
