highlights the top 50 urban 4- to 10-mile routes in 14 major U.S. cities: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington. The routes are short enough for a half-day walk and long enough for a nice run for a serious runner. City and route descriptions include information on local history and attractions, on-foot conditions, local weather, crime statistics, points of interest, public transit to/from start/finish (if needed), and food and beverage establishments at the end of the route. Ways to vary routes according to personal taste are discussed, along with other ideas for on-foot routes in each city covered. The book includes 64 maps and 125 photographs. It is a must-have for the business or recreational traveler who likes to get outdoors for exercise.
