Urban Hiking - Findlay Market to Mt. Adams and Back
Details
This hike will go from Over-the-Rhine to Mt. Adams and back.
We'll meet on the west side of Findlay Market, the Elm Street and West Elder Street intersection. We'll walk past: Washington Park, a big chunk of downtown, Fountain Square, the bike/walk ramp up Columbia, the Mt. Adams steps, the church up there, Bowtie Cafe (bathroom/coffee/smoothie break), Krohn Conservatory, Eden Park, Mirror Lake, and Playhouse in the Park. Then back down and over the cool pedestrian bridge across 71, the casino, the county courthouse/jail (from the outside), Washington Park again, Findlay Market again.
This will take up to 3 hours. Around 6-7 miles. 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.
