Urban hiking means not taking the most direct route through a city, but rather exploring our surroundings. We will spend the majority of each class walking, but because we need to understand situations that put pedestrians at risk and strategies for controlling those situations, there will be a few safety tips thrown in along the way. You'll also receive Defensive Walking, a booklet of tips on how to be in charge of your safety rather than relying on an imperfect system to protect you.
