City Walk Statue-Wary, 6.5 miles

Details

"Written in stone" doesn't mean what it used to and today's walk will take us by a variety of abandoned plinths, relocated monuments, and statues alternately presented for your thoughtful consideration. Times change and the past keeps slipping further away while younger and younger people keep getting put in charge. Next thing you know, your grandkids will be telling us all what to do. What are you going to do, stay inside?

Wear comfortable shoes and bring plenty of water. Loose, light-colored clothing is recommended. 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.
