City Walk - UH and TSU: 6 mi + Rail

This walk includes a Light Rail ride. Bring $1.25 train fare.

This time we hope that the trains are all running! This is the walk that cancelled recently so we will give it another try

Our walk today starts at Hermann park and takes us through Texas Southern University and the University of Houston to see the home of 2 of Houston's 3 law schools,

Today's walk is a bit long so we will take the train back from downtown. Please bring your Metro pass or $1.25 for train fare.

Wear light colored, loose fitting clothing, comfortable shoes and bring plenty of water. The heat in Texas is always a concern so let someone know if you are having a hard time. For more information about hiking check out this very useful hiking website: https://www.hatsandmore.org/
