NOVEMBER WALKS & HIKES
Monday Mornings
Monday, November 3rd, 9:30 a.m.
Red Town Trail. Red Town (Cougar Mountain
The trailhead is at 7498 Lakemont Blvd SE, Bellevue.
It is a 2.8 mile moderately trafficked loop trail near Newcastle that features a waterfall and is good for all skill levels. There is a 544-foot incline. If it is raining we will be protected by trees for much of the hike however the trail could be muddy so you will want to wear hiking shoes or boots or shoes that you don't mind getting muddy. We can reward ourselves with coffee after the hike.
MONDAY, November 10th, 9:30 a.m. HIKE!
Soaring Eagle Hike
This gem right in Sammamish is made up of rambling network of trails.
(26015 E. Main Dr., Sammamish 98075). There is a five-mile loop with 360 feet of elevation but we can decide if we want to hike the full loop or just choose a few trails. All trails are well marked and maintained.
MONDAY, November 17th, 9:30 a.m. WALK!
Crossing the Trestle.
This is an old favorite. The Snoqualmie Valley Trail from Tokul East (4333 356th Dr. SE, Fall City) is a lovely flat walk on a wide gravel path that allows a look back into the history of the old railroad line, and we get to cross the original trestle. We usually turn around at the underpass, making this a 5-mile walk. Of course, you could choose to turn around earlier to shorten your walk. After the walk, for those interested, we can stop by Aroma coffee on our way back.
MONDAY, November 24th, 9:30 a.m. WALK!
Pickering Barn to Sammamish State Park.
We will meet at Pickering Barn (1730 10th Avenue NW, Issaquah) and walk to Sammamish State Park. This is a level walk on sidewalks, dirt paths and along the beaches. There are picnic tables and rest rooms available for a stop along the way. We will then return to the barn. The walk is about 4 miles.
DECEMBER WALKS & HIKES
MONDAY, December 1st, 9:30 a.m. WALK!
Larsen Lake and Phantom Lake.
We will meet in the parking lot of the Kelsey Creek Starbucks (180 148th Ave., SE, Bellevue, 98007), where there is ample parking and we can relax with a beverage after the walk. We will walk the Lake to Lake trails around Larsen Lake and the blueberry fields (all part of the Lake Hills Greenbelt) to Phantom Lake. Our walk will be on level dirt and paved pathways with the round trip estimated to be 3.5 to 4 miles.
The Mindful Striders
WEDNESDAY MORNINGS WALKS
Lead's: Susan Harter: harterfry@aol.com
Peggy Pitzel: ppitzel100@gmail.com
This walking group differs from the more strenuious walk/hike by being slower and shorter. It's been popular with women who are just getting back into shape with walking or have previous or upcoming surgeries.
We meet every Wednesday morning at 10:00 a.m. except for the third Wednesday. Walks are between 1 and 2 miles.
If you email Peggy Pitzel (ppitzel100@gmail.com) or Susan Harter (harterfry@aol.com) we will add you to our email list where we send out weekly information on the upcoming walk.
Come check us out, we've been having a lot of fun!
