Cliff Walk Interactive Map Instructions Track Your Way Along The Walk [Beta 3.0] |
return to Cliff
Walk |
By
using Google Maps you are able to use a smart device such as an Android or
iPhone to track where you are along the Cliff Walk trail.
There are five segments to the walk:
1. Memorial Blvd. to Forty Steps [Blue
Line] This is the best route for a calm walk, jog or run as this
segment is entirely paved with no steps.
2. Forty Steps
to Ruggles Ave. [Gold Line] This is the
best segment to see mansions up close as it runs along the Breakers and wanders
over the open campus of Salve Regina University with its Vinland and Orche
Court mansions.
3. Ruggles Ave. to Belmont Beach. [Purple Line] On days with a bit of wave coming
in, this allows a cautious person to get up close to the ocean.
4. Belmont Beach to Ledge Rd. [Red
Line] This is the most difficult and longest segment of the walk
with ungrarded rock climbing sections over unmarked trail. This section is the
most dangerous, but still a very popular challenge. The objective is to get to
the Bridge at Rough Point.
5. Ledge Rd. to Reject's
Beach at Bellevue Ave. [Green Line] While
there is some ledge trekking, this segment is relatively good and certainly
beats walking back to Bellevue Ave. on Ledge Rd. If you have survived Segment 4
... this is not a problem.
This App does use up battery so keep that in
mind.
