🍁 Fall Foliage "Hike" & Walk: Washington Park Arboretum

🍂 About the Event Let’s take advantage of the crisp autumn weather and get some sun! We are heading to the Washington Park Arboretum for a casual weekend "hike" and walk to see Seattle's best fall foliage. Mid-October is peak season for the Japanese Maples to turn electric red and gold. The trails here are unpaved in spots and cover a massive 230-acre park, so it feels like a genuine nature hike right in the middle of the city. No Group Limits: There are no wilderness limits here, so feel free to bring friends! 🗺️ Game Plan & Timeline 11:00 AM: Meet outside the front doors of the Graham Visitors Center. We will do a quick round of intros while everyone arrives. 11:15 AM: We hit the trails! We will walk a large loop through the Woodland Garden to see the maples, taking plenty of stops for photos. 1:30 PM: Wrap up back at the Visitors Center. We can decide as a group if anyone wants to grab lunch or coffee nearby in Madison Valley or the U-District. 🎒 What to Bring Comfortable walking/hiking shoes (the dirt trails can get muddy if it rained the day before) Layers (it starts chilly but warms up as we walk) A bottle of water
