City Walk Midtown, 6.5 miles

This walk will cover the midtown area. Sam Houston Park with its old houses, the old Enron Building, Main Street, an old fire station or two, the Kirby Mansion and all the new construction that has made downtown an interesting place to be.

With the hot days, we are starting our walks later and going a bit shorter. The weather is warming and it is recommended to wear loose, light-colored clothing.

Wear 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.

Bring and wear a mask when not hiking and follow the best practices to prevent the transmission of COVID
