City Walk Houston Summer Splash Time , 6.0 miles

Let's try this one again.... Last year the water was turned off at most of the places we went. This early summer walk starts late at 5:00 pm, and takes us from one cool spot to the next. Bring raincoats, swimsuits, umbrellas and your waterproof hiking boots and get as wet as you want. From the walk-able fountains at the Obelisk to the run-able ones at the Glassell School and on to the Ervan Chew neighborhood park for a splash and back, we should never be too far away from a cool splash. If we see an ice cream truck, I am definitely getting one. After the walk we meet at Bodega's.

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.

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.
