Princeton University Campus Outdoor Art Collection Art/Architecture/Gardens, Photographer's Stroll. This is an an approximate 1.2 mile hike, at cherry blossom and magnolia bloom time, with about an additional mile to return to the beginning point, tops. Photographers, and slow walkers are welcome. We will hit about 12 to 13 locations on this stroll, of the outdoor campus art collection, and give everyone about few minutes at each point, for about an hour and a half to two hour walk. This is one of three differing walks, each around 2 miles, that are outdoor art collection centered. Stroll #1. There are stairs on this hike. Please put your best photos in the album afterwards :)
We will meet outside Wawa by the train station. It is adjacent to the Theatre Garage, w/adjacent lots, which is the recommended parking location, both are FREE on weekends, and weeknights after 4PM. Theatre Garage is off of Alexander Street, on Theatre Drive. Go over the brick road bump, past the Wawa, past the train tracks and enter. There IS a bathroom available in the Wawa.
