Field trip: GoWalk!: Beginner Urban Walking Series
February GoWalk! L4 Urban Walks: 3 to 7 miles, 400 to 750 feet of elevation gain - Chief Sealth Trail
GoWalk! L4 Urban Walks are low-stress activities to help you determine where you are in terms of gear, the pace (1.5 - 2 mph) and distance you can complete comfortably, and what your season goals for conditioning and walking are, so that you can determine what level of walks and pace would be the best fit for you. The Chief Sealth Trail is paved, urban trail that follows underneath high-voltage power lines in southeast Seattle. It is about 4.5 miles long, one-way, with rolling hills that connect the Beacon Hill and Rainier Beach neighborhoods.
