Cloud Gate and BP Bridge Walk
The Cloud Gate and BP Bridge Walk in Chicago, Illinois is an easy 0.6-mile one-way walk that leads through Millennium Park, passing Cloud Gate (The Bean), before crossing the silver metal-plated serpent-like footbridge, the BP Bridge.This is not a hike but rather a nice walk through Millennium Park and Maggie Daley Park before ending at E Randolph Street. Along the way, visitors will find crowds of tourists at Cloud Gate (The Bean), but far less people along the BP Bridge. If you enjoy smaller crowds and interesting architecture, the BP Bridge is the main sight for this walk.
