Walk? I walk into town every morning with my wife, when she goes to work, and then I reward myself with a cup of coffee at a local shop, talk to some friends, and then walk home. Takes about an hour and a half for me, including coffee time. My total difference in elevation is only 100 feet or so, but it's up and down both ways, and in the morning this time of year it is just getting light when I get back home. We carry an LED flashlight, and will probably get a flashing LED to strap on a leg or arm, when we find one that is cheap that we like. When it gets to slippery from ice and snow to stand up on the roadside, we drive the Metro.
Just checked the topo maps and the difference in elevation is 160+ feet, not 100'-
