The exploration of diverse urban environments on foot. The concept of urban hiking is gaining traction, and there are web sites devoted to promoting the activity. Urban hiking is the most natural, healthy, unintrusive way to explore a city.

I'm heading into the city for the day. Going to take music with me, and do some urban hiking.

I wandered into an insane store called "Sixth Avenue Aquarium" store while urban hiking through Inner Richmond yesterday.
