I did the next closest trail system to my hotel. Hosp Grove Trail. There is also a Hosp Grove Loop in HAZ, but in my mind the Hosp Grove Trail System is an indecipherable mess…loops and hikes can be created at the hikers discretion. There are 2 designated systems that make up the Hosp trails: an East Grove and a West Hosp Grove. These systems can be easily connected but are separated by Monroe St., a major thoroughfare. None of the official trails are named, but there are colored arrows (red, green, blue, yellow) to try to distinguish the trails. They failed for various reasons. ( There were trails that were blue going one way (north), but yellow going south 
Then there were trails that had colored arrows pointing one direction but intersections were unmarked so there was no clarity which way to go for that colored arrow. This problem was compounded by the fact that for every official trail there were 2 user trail crisscrossing the landscape).average hiking speed 2.58 mph
