Comments:

We are still feeling a little sick, but wanted to get outside and exersice a bit. This walk fit the bill perfectly! We parked in the back of the Randalls on 38th and walked down to 15th Street and back.

A couple of notes:

  • Going south, the walk on 31st Street seems longer than it should be. Just keep going and you will see the sign for the trail right before Lamar. That next segment is pretty awesome.
  • There is a bathroom just north of 15th Street... thankfully!
  • It is very interesting how this trail can go from complete solitude to the middle of a park.
  • Today (12/31/10) was the last day that the Pease Park disk golf course was open. So, it was PACKED with people playing one last round!
