How far is the walk from the handicapped parking area at AK to the Tree of Life? My DM will be using an EVC but I will be walking and am trying to walk every day on hills to build myself up.
 
I looked at the satellite view on Google Maps and the distance (from about the middle of disabled parking to the middle of the Tree of Life) appears to be a little more than 1/2 mile.

Unfortunately that is as the crow flies. It seems that the roads and paths were laid out by drunken crows, and you would be going more than 3/4 mile.
 
I was also trying to measure on google maps, but there are so many trees in the part of the park right after you enter that it's hard to route a path. The best I could come up with was similar to

Anyway, a couple of other things - The handicapped parking area is quite large and if you are parked in one of the farther parking spots, the walk will be a bit farther. There are benches along the way where you can stop and rest if you need to.
 
I used Google Earth which was fun. About .3 miles from the corner nearest the entrance to the Tree of Life. Odds are that it will be a half mile on a busy day. They have a fun little path maker but for the first time in a week my computer was low whatever, google earth does take a lot from computers.
