New Web site features UA maps

A new Web site "The UA Walking for Health Pathways" featuring maps, complete with directions and mileage, has been created to outline the north, central and south sides of campus for walking. In addition to route information, the site includes walks to exotic plants, trees and historic sites around the UA.

Users can also access information about the benefits of walking, use of pedometers, weight management tips and healthy eating.
