Walking Hastings including the Riverfront and the Mississippi River Trail

In this video, Elder Trekker visits Hastings, Minnesota, to walk the trails along the Mississippi River. I hope this walk inspires you to explore the Hastings riverfront on the Mississippi River Trail and to learn more about the history of this river city. The mission of Elder Trekker is to encourage seniors to remain both physically and mentally active by walking trails like this one.
