It was a smart watch instead of a Fitbit, but the well-intentioned gift was fraught with guilt. We knew weâd never match the writer David Sedaris, who claims to walk as many as 65,000 steps a day, but prompted by the âGreat Enumeratorâ on one of our wrists, we usually managed 6,085 steps on our morning Charles River loop. To hit the magic number of 10,000, we needed a change of scenery. Weâve been spending time hiking on Cape Cod, and gathered some of our favorite trails for a three-day spring escape built around 10,000 daily steps through the Capeâs rich blend of geography, history, and culture.
