  be too far or too difficult\, especially if stamina is a concern. But her
 e’s the good news: these wide trails are designed with you in mind! With
  NO inclines and some shaded spots\, plenty of stops\, several benches if 
 needed. We will do a 0.5 mile loop incorporating the first two of four bri

  For those willing and able to continue\, we will turn back and go to the 
 third bridge and back for a 1.5 mile total walk.  Note this second option
 al leg is longer than we have been doing on these gentle walks up to now.
   However\, there is no pressure to do the second loop. Great opportunity
  for anyone recovering from an injury or long lay-off from walking to get 
 back in the swing.\n\nWe go at a very relaxed pace\, taking frequent break
