A special note about walking
in the time of COVID-19
You may encounter closures or limited access for some of the walk features described in the book, especially for libraries, museums, parking lots, playgrounds, and restrooms. Additionally, public transit may have limited routes and schedules. Yet each walk still offers many artworks, nature scenes, and history features to see in outdoor settings. Check local news reports and community websites for information on current restrictions and other factors to consider before you walk on any of the routes described in this book.
