The walk started at the N. Prescott and Interstate MAX station and headed down the perfectly named Going Street (cuz I'm "going" there). After a mile or so, a trail branched off toward the river. Here a large metal sculpture welcomed me in. You can see the Fremont Bridge off in the distance.
I walked down to the "beach" (just like in Vancouver) and enjoyed the sand and driftwood. There were clear signs of human activity. I wondered how long this had been here, and if it were a representation of something?
After trudging along in the soft sand for a while, I trotted up a stone staircase to a paved riverside path, which led eventually to these train tracks as I began to loop back to the starting point.
As I headed back up Going Street (now "going" back), I spotted this 77 step staircase to Greeley Avenue, jogged up (puff puff) and back down the other side.
Not a bad walk. Though it was chilly and cloudy, it was nice to make a short trip to the beach without spending two hours on the highway. Though I wouldn't exactly call it a "fitness walk" it was very relaxing. Might even bring the kids here sometime for a little rock skipping. At least we wouldn't have to worry about any "sneaker waves."
