I always try and tell people downhill is worse than the uphill if you’re not used to it

Yes they were popping people with trespassing tickets on their car while out hiking. Over $300.

The Alabo trail in the Lower 9th.

Seriously though, download the All Trails app and search in La on the map.

yeah, I have bone-on-bone arthritis in my left knee. It's a problem, and I have to baby it, but the pain is not too terrible. I intend to wear it out before I get it replaced in 5-10 years.

Hike to top of majestic Driskill Mountain


I did this a few months back when I had to go to Ruston. I then drove about 20 minutes to the Bonnie and Clyde death spot.

Probably the best

Drive up to Eagle Rock Loop in Arky

For three more hours north, this is the real answer. Stunning topography comparatively.

This is very true. You should train going both up and down. Down is tough on quads, ankles and knees. Training up and down and stairs will help that too.

Running up and down the levee is good cardio.
