The Greenbelt Promenade Hike

[Update 10/1: This hike will occur as scheduled, with slight route changes, if necessary.]

In this version of our continued series of Greenbelt exploration hikes, we will promenade through the city in a figure-8 shaped hike. We will see the old, the newer, and the natural green space surrounding one of the first planned communities in the United States of the 1930's New Deal era. This is an easy-to-moderate hike of approximately 7 miles on paved and natural trails with some elevation changes.

Our hike begins in the heart of Old Greenbelt and winds through the historic city and small walkable community as we pass by some of the historic homes of Greenbelt's North End.

Next, we will make our way over to Greenbelt National Park for lunch and a quick trip into nature inside the beltway. After a small circuit in Greenbelt Park, we'll find our way back into Old Greenbelt.

Meet at Greenbelt Metro Station at 11:00 am, where we will form carpools just outside the station entrance. Bring lunch, water, comfortable shoes, and any other urban hiking gear you may need. Trip fees will be $5. RSVPs will open 2 weeks before the event.
