Field trip: GoHike: Beginner Hiking Course
April Hikes: 2.5 - 5 miles, 250 - 1,000 feet gain - Paradise Valley Conservation Area
I mean...how can you pass up an EARLY EVENING AFTER-HOURS hike in "PARADISE?" (Sunset will be at 8:09 p.m) And even if not the ultimate paradise, but rather a county park in Maltby off route 522, it will be an easy and restful 3 mile meander on mostly level trail looping through and around the headwaters of Bear Creek, a highly productive salmon stream within the Sammamish River Valley and featuring big trees and wetlands. This hike can apply toward your GoHike Series graduation!
