Madrona Trails Descend Toward Lake Washington
Walk into Seattle greenery for a neighborhood pause, following a ravine instead of your usual street circuit.
🌿 A Walk With The Slope
Trade a straight neighborhood circuit for a walk that follows the slope. At Madrona Ravine, winding trails descend through dense native foliage toward Lake Washington. Let the bends set your pace, with the wooded ravine taking over from the street. Make this the part of your Seattle routine that happens on foot, with time to follow the trail.
The protected city park opens daily at 4 AM and stays open until half past eleven PM. Choose daylight for your walk through the greenery, and give the descent your attention. The natural setting is the draw here, with the ravine slopes shaping the outing.
Start with 901 38th Ave as your destination. Then trade the street for the park and leave the rest of the walk unhurried. Save the lakeward wander for a day when the neighborhood walk deserves more of your afternoon.
