Event comments
For this year's Easter walk, we will bring back our popular route through the UW (with a few modifications to pick up some Challenges). Starting in the beautiful Laurelhurst neighborhood, the walk then will explore the UW Horticulture Center gardens, the Union Bay Natural Area, and parts of the UW campus including the Quad. The walk will qualify for the Light Rail Challenge, as it will pass by the University of Washington Station. See "Event Information" below for important trail information.
