The Howard Peak Greenway system offers a way for San Antonians to experience their city on foot.
Inspired by the city’s network of greenway trails, I set out to do what seemed illogical, impossible or just plain idiotic: circumnavigating San Antonio on foot, utilizing the newly christened Howard Peak Greenway system.
Where the trails ended, I’d continue along creek beds, roadsides, vacant lots and railroad tracks.
Has the perimeter of SA ever been thru hiked? It seemed I’d be among the first, which made the trek an irresistible target, and just crazy enough to be interesting. Or perhaps just crazy.
