Prepare for your adventure One of the beauties of urban hiking is its accessibility. No specialized gear required – just slip on walking shoes and dress for the weather. Don’t forget sunscreen and a hat, particularly during the hot summer months. I prefer to wear SPF long-sleeve shirts over short sleeves and sunscreen, even in hot weather.

southwest past the Crystal Bridge and cross the suspension bridge over the lake. Don’t miss the Children’s Garden, Thunder Fountain (open during the summer) and Mo’s Carousel. Exit the gardens at the south entrance to the Crystal Bridge and walk east to Robinson, back toward Scissortail Park. You did it! This hike is great any time of year, but it’s especially lovely in early fall. Different seasons bring different colors, flowers and vistas, so there’s always something to see. Looking for something a little longer? You can easily extend the journey exploring off-shoot paths and the attractions along the way. Wander through the Myriad Gardens, linger at the playgrounds and embrace the spirit of exploration.
