SUMMARY:Folk Art\, Hidden Stairways\, Big Views\, and the Urban Wilds
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the joy of walking with Lori Beattie\, intrepid urban
  explorer and author of Calgary's Best Walks.\n\nDiscover how Lori moves th
 rough the city\, connecting communities on foot and searching out folk art\
 , little libraries\, big views\, hidden stairways and conversations.\n\nWe'
 ll travel along the Bow River Pathway and onto the side streets of the colo
 urful and eclectic Inglewood and Ramsay. Murals\, little libraries and my p
 ups favourite dog treat library are all part of the walk as we make up way 
 to the top of Scotsman's Hill. We'll soak up the views before descending to
  the Elbow River Pathway. A walk north along the river path leads us to the
  Confluence\, where the Elbow and Bow Rivers meet. If timing allows we'll w
 alk through St. Patrick's Island or we'll take Inglewood side streets back 
 to our starting point. Walkers are welcome to break away from the pack to s
 oak up the people populated 9th Avenue. It is the perfect street to head to
  if you need to replenish lost calories with a tasty and refreshing pick me
  up (coffee\, ice cream\, beer)!\n\nYOUR WALK LEADER: Lori is the author of
  Calgary's Best Walks and Calgary's Best Bike Rides. A passionate urban exp
 lorer\, loves getting outside and moving through Calgary and beyond under h
