Meet at the South garage on the UW Bothell campus at 4:00PM ready to walk. Details will be sent prior to the event.
We will walk along the North Creek Trail in Bothell and proceed to the Sammamish River Trail and then head back to the University of Washington Bothell campus to see the crows return before sunset. Hundreds to thousands of crows return to the campus every afternoon/evening in order to roost in the nearby wetlands. It is quite a sight!
We will take a brisk walking pace and the trails are flat. We will walk approximately 4ish miles. The forecast calls for cloudy weather and/or showers so please be OK with a wet walk. Heavy rain will cancel the trip. Please note that this is on a Friday late afternoon so expect rush hour traffic.
