Burke Gilman Trail

If you are in Seattle, I recommend checking out the Burke Gilman Trail for a nice walk or bike ride. On the trail, you get to travel through several different neighborhoods and see the different areas of Seattle. The trail features some great spots for resting, including a couple parks and some awesome views of the lakes and the University of Washington. The trail begins in the Ballard/Fremont neighborhood and continues all the way to Kenmore. It is relatively flat the entire way so it it not a difficult ride. On a hot day, it's fun to take the ride and stop off at Matthew's Beach and jump in the water. It makes for a very refreshing break. However, my favorite spot would have to be the quiet sitting area underneath the Aurora Bridge. It has a great view of the entrance to Lake Union and a few floating homes. This location is a great place to watch boats go by and admire the architecture of Aurora. All in all, a great way to get outside, get some exercise and see the city.
