Summary: This is the hike I take when walking to or from work. There are many perils on this hike, so do not take it lightly! The terrain is simple and level for the most part. You will find worn-pathways for the most-part, mixed with road and some sidewalk travel. Watch out in certain areas of Broad St and Roxboro road where there is approximately 6 inches between you impassible woods or gulleys on one side, and cars speeding by at 55mph on the other. I personally feel more at ease on some Hawaii ridge treks than I am in this dangerous territory. NOTE: I'm posting this hike sort of as a joke, but also somewhat seriously to point out the lack of concern for pedestrians in Durham's city-planning.

Reviewed by DAC on 6/24/2004 I live in the raleigh area, and can attest to you that the words "north carolina" and "urban planning" do not belong in the same sentence! Everything is built for the convenience of cars; its almost impossible to walk anywhere Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous. You are responsible for informing yourself about these hazards and taking necessary precautions. Information on this web site comes from volunteer reporters and may contain errors or omissions.
