New chances have just been announced for you to learn about and enjoy Seattle’s biggest stretch of forest! Here’s the spring, summer, and fall schedule for this year’s guided hikes in the West Duwamish Greenbelt:

Guided hikes will begin again in the West Duwamish Greenbelt, the largest contiguous forest in Seattle with a network of trails connecting Pathfinder School, South Seattle College, the Duwamish Longhouse, Riverview Park and Westcrest Park. Join the West Duwamish Greenbelt Trails group on the third Saturday of each month from April through November. Hikes are up to three miles and/or two hours long based on group ability level and trail conditions (some trails are well maintained, others not so much). This year, we will vary the starting points so as to explore more aspects of the greenbelt. Meet at 9:30 at the designated starting point for each hike:

April 19 Pathfinder School, 1901 SW Genesee St., south end of the parking lot
May 17 South Seattle College, 6000 16th Ave. SW, arboretum entrance at the north end of the north parking lot
June 21 Westcrest Park, 7th Ave. SW and SW Cloverdale, north end of the intersection
July 19 Pathfinder School, 1901 SW Genesee St., south end of the parking lot
Aug. 16 South Seattle College, 6000 16th Ave. SW, arboretum entrance at the north end of the north parking lot
Sept. 20 Westcrest Park, 7th Ave. SW and SW Cloverdale, north end of the intersection
Oct. 18 Pathfinder School, 1901 SW Genesee St., south end of the parking lot
