This is a lovely urban hike on the Bailey Peninsula in Seattle where one can see the water of Lake Washington, old growth forest, including magnolias, and home to many birds.
We will be walking in a clockwise direction on the Shore Loop, starting at the Audubon Center.
Afraid of blisters? Try coating your feet with vaseline and/or wearing wool socks.
Cloth face coverings are required and must be worn when passing others or when closer than 6' to others in the party.
All group members must carry either alcohol-based hand sanitizer or biodegradable soap.
This activity will be structured to maintain 6' whenever possible (brief periods closer than 6’ are acceptable).
