City Walk Houston Heights Admiration, 6.0 Miles

Alan asked me (Tom) to take over this walk. So I consulted Google's AI, Gemini, and came up with a hike to the places Gemini "thinks" will be interesting for us. Plus a few traditional walks down the nicer residential streets. And two blocks walking down alleys just to keep things earthy.

Gemini's plan didn't copy well to a web document but it still has the reason AI "thinks" these places are important.

See the map in the photos for the walk plan.

Starting at Stude Park this walk will follow the bayou around to Woodland Park, down everybody's favorite, Bayland Street and then up and down Heights Boulevard and Harvard. Along the way there is no telling what we might see but with no zoning and minimal neighborhood restrictions the possibilities are endless. Old houses, new town homes, shady streets, and trendy shops make this a nice walk through Houston, old and new.

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/
