I’m immunocompromised which means I have to be really careful due to COVID-19. Thankfully I’m relatively healthy, outside of my disease, and I miss going to the gym and going on hikes.
I’m not willing to risk my health on gyms right now, but do edhat readers have suggestions on hikes with very little to no people? A time frame on a specific trail where I can hike or walk without having too many close encounters with other people? Even a neighborhood with a steep hill or two?
Thanks for the help!
Ellwood Mesa provides pathways that are about 6-10 feet wide but with low terrain on either side (aside from the cliffs) it’s easy to anticipate people coming towards you and step as far away as desired. It’s realistically possible to maintain a 20+ foot barrier by simply walking off trail when needed. There are a lot of smaller trails through the broad meadow that few people ever make use of. These are narrow (maybe 2 feet at best) but again, if you see someone heading your way, take steps off path to whatever distance makes you feel comfortable.
Its also a great place to ride a bike!
Also, Bel Air Knolls…hills, not a lot of people
