Black Friday? More like, plaid Friday. Once again we’ll thumb our nose at wanton consumerism by moving our bodies in our beautiful city. Each year we pick a great urban route and head out together to explore, be in community, and enjoy the late fall weather. There are two routes to choose from – a morning easier route, and an afternoon advanced route.

Hike 1: The Beautiful River Route 9:30am – 12:00pm. This is a favorite traditional route. We’ll hike along the Ohio River exploring Sawyer Point, Serpentine Wall, and northern Kentucky. We’ll cross three bridges and two rivers in this flat and gentle walk.

This route is appropriate for strollers. Approximately 4 miles

Hike 2: Steps and Views. 1:00pm – 3:30pm. This route will feature the Clifton hills just north of Over-The-Rhine. Hikers will climb the daunting Main Street steps, wind through little known parks, and one of the best views in the city, before taking steps down to Over-the-Rhine and our starting point.

This route is NOT recommended for stollers. This route contains one significant climb. Approximately 3.5 miles.
