One must get up and be out early for a walk , jog , or bike ride. So many miles of lovely nature . Can't wait to get my New Jersey feet down on the greenway when I visit. Makes me want to move !

Greenway is a gem

This greenway is really good. If you are visiting Raleigh and you love to be outdoors without traffic, figure out a way to stay near enough to the greenway to utilize it. There are bike and kayak rentals too. Or walk or run. Every city...More
