About us
City Walks Houston is a walking group that offers members an up close view of the city with 6-7 mile hikes exploring the parks, neighborhoods, and bayous around us. In addition to hikes, City Walks Houston arranges occasional tours of the parts of our community that you never see from behind the steering wheel. City Walks Houston is for active people who want to see more of this place and meet others so inclined.

City Walk Gargoyles of Houston, 6.0 Miles
1422 West Gray Street, 1422 W Gray St, Houston, TX 77019, USA, Houston, TX, USArchitectural flourishes or home security systems? Your guess is as good as mine. Today's walk reminds of us of how many gargoyles are out there even when it is not nearly Halloween. Look for seasonal decorations as well as we go through the Montrose.
Wear light colored, loose fitting clothing, comfortable shoes and bring plenty of water. The heat in Texas is always a concern so let someone know if you are having a hard time. For more information about hiking check out this very useful hiking website: https://www.hatsandmore.org/
Our organizers are not guides nor do we have any special training. We are here to come up with hiking ideas and get the hike started. Take the same precautions you would if hiking alone, including the fitness needed to make long hikes. Then enjoy the hike among friends.
