When you guys say a nice walk to different MP's.
How many minutes or so at a regular fit pace?
I am just trying to get an idea of how far they are from the SL?
thanks
For me, the walk to HLH is two minutes at most, NF would be less since it's closer (you pass it on the way to HLH). Idem/Relax is five at most. Of course, I walk at a fast 15-minute per mile pace, even back up the hill.

HikerTom...You must fly to get to Idem/Relax in 5 minutes from SL.
I found an average paced walk to be at leat 10-15 minutes to get to Relax from SL.
Ok, maybe add a couple of minutes for traffic when crossing streets.

But yeah, it doesn't take me long, the key is to take Calle 15 down past Parque Nacional, the government buildings and Museo Nacional; there is a pedestrian walkway that goes all the way to Ave 8, then turn right, go two blocks, turn left and you're there. And I do fly when I walk, back in May I did a 25-mile hike in Saguaro National Park East outside of Tucson that involved over 4,000 total feet of altitude gain (then all of it back down) in 10 hours, my longest dayhike ever. Definitely not the average pace.
