In Greensboro, autumn is the perfect time to take long walks. Days are getting shorter, but the sun casts such beautiful, golden shadows when it is low to the horizon. The sounds and smells are breathtaking. The above photo shows a walkway along a golf path in northwest Greensboro. One of the greatest parts of golfing is being outside in nature.

However, if you don’t golf, or belong to one of Greensboro’s many golf courses, the city parks offer many great options, including a vast assortment of trails and greenways. It is supposed to be hot for the next couple of days and then cool off dramatically. If you want to beat the heat, plan ahead to walk on Friday. It will be First Friday and, it is always fun to walk the length of Elm Street from near LeBauer Park and the Cultural Arts Center to the South 600 block of Elm Street, near Gate City Boulevard. In the meantime, today, we’ll continue to search out new paths and trails. Happy Wednesday!
