We will meet at map of the park on the south side of the Kelsey Creek Farm parking lot. We'll head east around a lovely, wooded loop trail behind the farm. We'll then head west on neighborhood sidewalks to enter the nice wide trail to Wilburton Hill Park. We will follow the trail to the Bellevue Botanical Garden where we will enjoy the seasonal colors as we follow the Lost Meadow Trail across the ravine suspension bridge before returning to Wilburton Hill Park & Kelsey Creek Farm.
There are restrooms at Kelsey Creek Farm, Wilburton Hill Park & Bellevue Botanical Garden. There are also many places to stop for clothing adjustments, snacks/water and photos.
You will receive a Hello Walker e-mail with additional trip details after registration closes. If you have any questions, please e-mail Terri Perlman at tperlman@hotmail.com

Required Equipment
Dress in appropriate layers for the weather & wear sturdy shoes. While much of the walk is in wooded areas on a sunny day consider a hat, sunglasses & sunscreen. Bring any medications you may require. Bring water to stay hydrated & snacks to keep you fueled. We will walk in sunshine or rain. The trails are well maintained and fairly smooth, but we will be going up and down some gentle hills so some may be more comfortable bringing their hiking poles.
