This photogenic frolic is a 4.7mile easy city-hike that is paved but has a few hills & stairs, totaling a elevation gain of ~450ft. Pace: 3mph. The trek traverses the town of Hagerstown a.k.a. "Hub City". Highlights include the Museum Spring, the "Mural of Unusual Size", and a big red Caboose!

The circuit first weaves through the wonderous CITY PARK, home to too many Ducks & Geese, but also Carp, then hikes to the John Hager House. The trek then parades along PROSPECT STREET, a residential road now known as a historical district in MD's national register [of] properties, with delightful domiciles of varying architecture.

After continuing on the ARTSY CULTURAL TRAIL, the trek then bops by the "Flying Boxcars" Baseball Stadium, dawdling into downtown for a meander to City Hall, THE MARYLAND THEATER, and a local library (with a bathroom break).

Latter of the city-hike ganders past a music venue as well as a community garden, crossing over the HAGERSTOWN MOAT before sauntering by the SURREY SCHOOL, concluding with an amble through an amazing alley for a grand finale!
