Join hike leader Nanette Hanks on August 19th for a “Trail in Two Cities” hike. We will meet at 9:30 am at Longfellow Grill in Minneapolis (the first city of the west) and hike along the Mississippi River crossing over to St. Paul (the last city of the east) to circle back to our starting point. This hike will be about 5 miles total along paved paths at a moderate pace. Plan to stay after the hike for lunch at the Longfellow Grill! Great outdoor seating and a delightful menu.
