Murals, little libraries and my pups 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 walk 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 soak 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)!YOUR WALK LEADER: Lori is the author of Calgary's Best Walks and Calgary's Best Bike Rides.
