These aren’t your leisurely strolls in sandals; nope, you’ll need to lace up your hiking boots (or at least good walking shoes) and fill your camelback for our expeditions!  Alexandra Kenin, founder of Urban Hiker, has mapped out routes you won’t find anywhere else; where you’ll traverse hilltops, ascend endless stairways and explore all the hidden spots that you never even knew existed.  See a side of the city that few get to experience.
