5.0 star rating
  6/1/2011

This was a great hike! My boyfriend and I went here on a weekday so there weren't many people around. This hike is just under 6 miles round trip. This trail is remarkably well maintained with a lot of steps, switchbacks, benches, viewpoints, etc.…More »

Seattle, WA 98107

Category: Parks

Neighbourhood: Ballard

3.0 star rating
  2/3/2011

Nestled in the heart of Ballard, this is not a destination. It is something you walk by, notice the nice bell tower and the sign beside it that says it's a park. And then you exclaim to your friends "WTF?! This is the tiniest park of all time! How…More »

There's nothing I love more than taking a leisurely walk around Green Lake with my boyfriend. It doesn't matter the season - as long as it's not raining, I'm here. In addition to walking, you can run, speedwalk, bike, rollerblade, skateboard, walk…More »

5.0 star rating
  12/20/2010

If you're in Victoria and have the time to take a day trip (4-6 hours including transit) I would HIGHLY recommend visiting The Butchart Gardens. When my family wanted to go here I didn't really think I'd be that into it but was I ever wrong. There is…More »

(206) 418-3385

Category: Parks

5.0 star rating
  6/7/2011

Love this park! Great views and and even though it's fairly popular it feels very secluded. That's because the beach is fairly long and covers a good amount of area. That, along with all of the little terraced landscaped areas carved into the steep…More »

 6. Lime Kiln Trail

Granite Falls, WA

Category: Hiking

4.0 star rating
  6/15/2011

This is a well-maintained trail up in the Granite Falls area. This is a fairly easy hike with little elevation gain and would be great for people of all hiking abilities. It's 7 miles round trip if you continue to the end of the trail at the South…More »

Category: Active Life

5.0 star rating
  6/23/2011

What fun! I did this a year or so ago and have been itching to go back again. I am absolutely terrified of heights, but thankfully they have a "bunny hill" if you will, a trainer zipline that is shorter and not as far off the ground so you can get…More »

 8. Rattlesnake Ridge

North Bend, WA 98045

Categories: Parks, Hiking

4.0 star rating
  7/12/2011

This is a great hike! It's a moderate hike for beginners, easy for people who hike regularly, and should be done at least once by every hiker. It's four miles and really well maintained with steps and switchbacks throughout. Once you reach the ridge…More »

Central Cascades
Gold Bar, WA 98251

Category: Hiking

5.0 star rating
  7/22/2011

Beautiful hike! If you're more of a novice hiker then Bridal Veil Falls is right up your alley. It's about 1.5 miles of moderate trail to the turnoff for Bridal Veil Falls, then for the last half mile it gets steep but it's completely doable. The…More »

Category: Hiking

4.0 star rating
  11/22/2011

This is a nice, quick 3-mile round trip hike near North Bend. My boyfriend and I rolled in around 2 and were out by 4:30. I saw lots of people of all ages, including kids. I found this hike to be beautiful even though we went in mid-November and it…More »

I ran the Seattle Half Marathon yesterday and had a lot of fun. Granted the weather was awful, but the race was well organized and the course was beautiful. There were also options for a half-marathon walk and a full marathon run or walk.

You can't…More »
