Walk Description: The Walk 360 is Boulder's signature slow marathon - a 26-mile urban hiking route around the periphery of the city. This summer and fall, we'll cover that same ground (and more!) on a series of mini-loop urban hikes. On this mini-loop, we'll do the Southeast Urban Hike beginning and ending at Big Daddy Bagels in the Meadows Shopping Center. Big Daddy opens at 6:30 am, so arrive early to get breakfast, use the restroom and fill water bottles. This map illustrates all of the mini-loop routes (the route for this hike is in green): [https://caltopo.com/m/1SU2](https://caltopo.com/m/1SU2)
Each mini-loop incorporates part of the original Walk 360 slow marathon route into a shorter self-contained route showcasing a different part of the city.
Schedule and Planning: We will meet at 8:30 am in front of Big Daddy Bagels, which is located in the southern corner of the Meadows Shopping Center at 4800 Baseline Road. You can park by the Meadows Branch Library, which is on the other side of the shopping center from the restaurant. Please carpool if you can! This urban hike is about 9 miles, so it should take us about 3.5 hours to complete.
