Former San Antonio mayor Howard Peak envisioned the greenway system bearing his name as an “emerald necklace” around the city’s perimeter. Many miles ago, I set out to circumnavigate San Antonio on foot using the ever-expanding Howard Peak Greenway Trails. And while gaps remain, the portions completed so far have provided a revelatory experience from Leon Creek’s Hill Country splendor and the Medina’s South Texas tangle to the calm meander of the Mission Reach.
It may be cloudy and humid this week, but we know the rain doesn t last long in San Antonio. The heat will return and exhaust us all.
When it does, it s hard to escape the bright sun. You can either stay indoors or sit under an umbrella while relaxing on a patio. And, for those who enjoy hikes, jogs and biking, it s even harder to find parks where you don t feel like you re melting because of the glaring sun.
On San Antonio Reddit, a local (@oh-jeezzz) asked fellow park peeps where he or she can find trails in the city that are shady (not sketchy).

Even among wisened civic leaders who have learned not to get too excited about the lofty plans of new administrations, there is palpable cheer among some in San Antonio who think President Joe Biden’s $2.3 trillion infrastructure proposal could have a once-in-a-generation impact on the environment.
Though the spending package announced March 31 is called the American Jobs Plan, it is by any name Biden’s climate change bill, drawing plaudits or opposition on those terms.
