This walk was modified in 2018. It walks the previous route backwards and has added new interesting features. The Capital will be visited in both 11km and 6km routes. Pets are not allowed in Capitol buildings. Wheelchairs/strollers welcomed, but you may have to detour to bypass stairs at the UT Tower. There are some small hills and stairs.
