MLK Walk, along Southern Walnut Creek trail

NOTE: This walk is held the day before MLK Day.

Join us for a 5 mile easy paced, paved walk (with an optional additional 2 mile rugged section), along the Southern Walnut Creek Trail. We will depart from the trail on occasion - to view the MLK memorial mosaic at the Paseo de Heroes and pass by the Urban Roots farm.

Those doing the optional additional 2 mile rugged section should be able to hop across a 3-foot-wide creek and handle rocky terrain. The trail leads to Red Bluff, which has been called "the Mount Bonnell of east Austin". If the creek level is high, the route will be altered. We don't plan to get our feet wet.

OK to bring a well-behaved pet on leash, if not doing the rugged section. If pet problems arise, you will need to depart from the group.

Participants must sign a Liability Waiver at the trailhead. You may view the waiver document: https://tinyurl.com/SCSignUpSheet2020 .

Often we go out for food and drink afterwards.

If not already a member, we encourage you to join the Sierra Club (the national club, not just the Meetup group) and help protect the environment and our democracy.
