Why this plan works

The 3 stops cover about 4.4 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Fort Worth instead of crossing town between them. Log Cabin Village is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Little Tavern — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to solo, families, and families with kids who want a planned Fort Worth outing without improvising between stops.
