Urban Hiking - Findlay Market to Mt. Adams and Back

This hike will go from Over-the-Rhine to Mt. Adams and back.

We'll start at the French Crust Cafe and Bistro across from Findlay Market. This time we'll head towards the river to Smale park. Then along the river over to Sawyer Point park. Then we'll go up the steps all the way to the church on Mt Adams. The good news is once the steps are done there aren't really any more for the rest of the hike. We'll stop by Bowtie Cafe for a break, and then we'll head back down from there and across the 71 pedestrian bridge to Findlay. We'll probably get back via East Liberty Street and some other streets. This is different than the usual way.

I think this will take up to 3 hours. Around 6-7 miles. Not sure haven't done this exact route. There's no way for the Mt. Adams steps to be easy but we'll go at a reasonable pace and take breaks.

Parking can be a little challenging. So give yourself time to find a spot. You can park on Central Parkway for free. There's also lots around, and the Findlay Market parking garage is very convenient.
