March Hike – Wewona Park
Our March hike will be along trails in Wewona Park in Bellevue, WA. This 90-acre park has 2.5 miles of peaceful hiking trails through towering remnants of old growth forest with views of Lake Sammamish and the Cascade Mountains. The park trails are well constructed and have been barked for a soft footing. In steeper sections the route follows carefully built wooden staircases. Phantom Creek descends through the park to Lake Sammamish through a deep ravine, creating a series of picturesque waterfalls and pools.
We will meet at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, March 19, in front of the Seattle Asian Art Museum in Volunteer Park. To reduce the cost, we organize carpools; carpool riders share the cost. We will arrive back in Seattle by around noon. Because Wewona Park has no parking lot we will start the hike in the parking lot in Lake Hills Park and walk to Wewona Park a quarter mile from there on the Lake to Lake Trail. Here is a Google Maps link to the Lake Hills Park parking lot.
