It amazes me that I can ride the distance of the valley with minimal cross traffic and hassles. It's a great connector to the Lake Washington trail or for those that want to venture through south Seattle. It's a safe, flat ride with fun and interesting dips through a heavily manufactured area.

In other words: nearly completely flat! Which is why I marked the trail as "flat" in the category section as well. :) --Jennifer You have to look at the scale on the left of the graph — the elevation varies from 28 to 88 feet of elevation, so there is a total of one 60 foot climb over the course of 10 miles.

The two trails have very little elevation change even if the above elevation graph looks like a mountain climb. Trail was in great shape, very clean (no flat tires) and was not heavily traveled on a gorgeous sunny autumn Saturday.
