Day Hikes
Hike leader and Seattle Hiking Committee Chair Steve Payne will offer eight day hikes on mostly flat and paved trails. These hikes are a great opportunity to pack extra weight, break in new gear and footwear, and get real-time answers to your gear and fitness questions in a judgment-free, on-trail setting. Steve will also demonstrate post-hike stretches. Day hikes are free for members and guest members.
