I enjoyed another 5 mile walk/hike on the Florence Rail Trail. This time I started at The Bean Bar. If you are looking for a peaceful place to walk, run, bike, etc, this is a great location.

Need to get away? Take a deep breath and head out to this beautiful Free experience. No equipment required well maybe a water bottle! No age restrictions, young in a stroller to a wheelchair will be just fine. Come join the birds and squirrels take a walk on the simple side of a day.
