Great if you don't want a strenuous hike and you aren't from Asheville. My husband and I did this at an afternoon date. It took longer than we anticipated and we got a little lost near the end and ended up not finishing so that we could get some food for our growling stomachs. It took us through areas of... More

I am in love of this Urban Trail. This is a trail where you can find very interesting art structures along the way. If you are new to town or a tourist just ask for a map at the library and follow the instructions on it. It is very easy. I know you can also find a map of this... More

I walked most of the trail, because I had my little dog with me, I missed most of the landmarks. It wasn't very busy, but the sidewalks can be very narrow - that I had to pay attention. I found myself crossing the street A LOT more than I thought. I enjoyed window shopping, the street musicians and entertainers, and... More

My wife and I spent about 2.5 hours wandering along the 'Trail'. It would help if there were 'footsteps' to follow, but we had no problem navigating all of the trail. It was a sunny warm day in November and although there weren't a lot of folks around, the architecture, sculptures and interesting shops made for a delightful afternoon. Be... More

It was great to learn your way around downtown a little bit as a first attraction option, but I felt that the art along the urban trail was very lacking. Some of the sights you could barely see, and I ended up passing most of them. Also, the maps are poor, and directions were hard to figure out. I feel... More

It can be a little confusing getting around the streets to the different places but also fun to figure out where to go. Brings you around the different sections of downtown, and is a fun way to get around. The... More

totally enjoyed the Urban Trail Tour, will do the Herstory Tour next time! Brenda was an excellent tour guide, friendly, knowledgeable, patient. I've lived in the Asheville area for 5 years now and I learned a great deal about the city's early development and history. Loved every minute of it as did my 2 fellow girlfriends who also were on...

I was a little confused on the map they gave me at the vistor center, but once I got the hang of it, it's a great trail to do in downtown Asheville on an afternoon.

The Urban Trail is a really great way to see the city. It is packed full of art that we have over looked and history that we did not know about. It is a good hike for younger kids. We split the trail into two hikes so we could take our time and enjoy downtown at the same time. A... More
