This all-inclusive LGBTQ-friendly hike is indeed “mostly flat.” But, as your mama no doubt told you: “Men can lie.” 🙂 This weeknight fitness walk actually includes two Escarpment Stairs. The good news: You’ll climb only one and dance down the other.From the bottom of Wentworth Stairs, we’ll follow the flat Escarpment Rail Trail all the way to the historic Uli Stairs, which we’ll climb up to Mountain Brow. Upon reaching the top, we’ll take a break, stretch, have a snack and gulp some water before we saunter along the Mountain Brow path to Margate Stairs. There, we’ll descend to the Rail Trail, and head back to the starting point at Wentworth.
Bring water and energizing snacks—especially if you’ve come directly from work. Insect repellent is a good idea, too.
Consider this 8-km weeknight hike good training for longer weekend hikes.
