Explore Tucson on Foot

About us

The idea for this meetup was inspired by William Heinrich, the sociologist who walked every block of New York City's 5 boroughs.

Once a week, we'll explore a new neighborhood in Tucson. All walks will be approximately 2 hours, and should cover about 4 miles, which is about 8000 steps for most people. Walks will normally start and end somewhere within reasonable distance of restaurant or coffee shop so folks who want to come early or stay late will be able to do so.

The goal is to explore neighborhoods you might never normally set foot in. And yes, it may mean driving a little ways to get to where we are walking, so the idea is Exploration more than Exercise, although ideally it will accomplish both.
