Albuquerque’s First Jane’s Walk – Saturday, May 2 and Sunday, May 3

UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO COVID-19, WE’LL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL 2021 FOR THE FIRST ALBUQUERQUE JANE’S WALK!

Jane’s Walks are held in 200 communities around the world on the first weekend of every May. They celebrate urban neighborhoods and are organized and led by volunteers. The walks are named for Jane Jacobs who is credited with starting the urban revival movement.

Albuquerque will be having its first Jane’s Walk this coming May (2020) and will feature the Art Banners along Mountain Road and many other interesting locations in the Wells Park, Downtown, and Sawmill Neighborhoods.

Details on walk routes and the like are still being developed. Please contact David Ryan at davidryan@msn.com for more information.

Each post describes a walk or some aspect of wandering and include many photographs of what was along the way. Feel free to search through the older posts as many of them may be of interest to you.

Long Distance Hiking on the Appalachian Trail for the Older Adventurer

Long Distance Hiking on the Appalachian Trail for the Older Adventurer is an invitation to older adventurers (late forties and up) to consider the world of long distance hiking. The book shows how long distance hiking is an accessible adventure that offers a sense of clarity and simplicity that is difficult to find elsewhere. It is based upon what the author, David Ryan, learned during his end-to-end hike of the Appalachian Trail that he completed two days after his 51st birthday. This second edition of the book has several new pages, new insights, and incorporates changes in long distance hiking that have occurred since the first edition was published ten years ago.
