We’d like to think we’re above a good rock pun, but it’s hard to resist when the setup is this solid. Although a classic rock song can also get your blood pumping, there isn’t anything quite like climbing rocky stairs at the River Place Nature Trail. The 1,040-foot elevation gain is shaded by trees for most of the 5.5-mile hike, but that doesn’t make the trail any less challenging. Your calf muscles are sure to be in tip-top shape after a few hikes here, especially if you’re daring enough to run on the trails.
