Tri-State Hiking Club

We meet on the outdoor plaza directly across from the ticket line for the Aquarium. During cold weather, we meet in the heated clear plastic tent across from the ticket line.

We typically do about 10 miles and there are several long sets of stairs (1,000+). We walk at a brisk pace, so it is not just an easy stroll. Some in the group may take a shortcut to eliminate a couple miles. If anyone is getting tired, they can turn back at Krohn Conservatory and take a direct route back without any additional stairs.

We usually head across the Bridge, walk out east around the pickleball courts and up the stairs to Mt. Adams and loop back through Eden Park. We will walk past Krohn Conservatory, Playhouse in the Park and up the Art Museum stairs.

PARKING: Parking on Monmouth is free on Sunday. Or you can pay to park in the Levee garage.

NOTE: We start promptly at 9AM. If you’re running late, please message us. We will wait a few minutes.
