The experience takes about 60 minutes. You will walk approximately 1.5 miles round trip on the university campus which includes terrain of grass, pavement, gravel and natural soil.
The walk has accessibility ramp alternatives whenever there are steps or stairs. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a jacket for inclement weather.
