- Choose a route length from the City's published mileage list, then start with an out-and-back or one loop rather than assuming every trail is the same distance.
- Use the City's interactive parks-and-trails map to check a trail's location and connections before leaving home.
- For Rawhide Trail, note that restrooms are listed near Joya Playground daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and at Manske Library during library operating hours.
- At John F. Burke Nature Preserve, stay on designated trails, keep dogs leashed, and follow the City's leave-no-trace guidance.
- Bring water and weather-appropriate sun or rain protection; turn back if heat, storms, trail conditions, or personal comfort make the outing unsuitable.
Connecting local habits with medical care
