Field trip: GoHike: Beginner Hiking Course
March GoHike Pacing Urban Walk: 2 - 4 miles, 0 - 750 feet gain - Washington Park Arboretum
This is a fun walk at the Washington Park Arboretum. We'll begin at the Graham Visitors Center and walk to Lake Washington and then back through the Arboretum. We'll likely see birds and beginning blooms. GoHike Pace Urban Walks are low-stress urban walks designed to help you determine where you are in terms of gear, the pace (1.5 - 2 mph) and distance you can complete comfortably. These trips are designed to assist you in developing your goals for conditioning and hiking, so that you can determine what level of walks or hikes and pace would be the best fit for you to sign up for - no pressure, no judgment!
