Description

Embark on a captivating 6-mile urban hike through the heart of Seattle, led by a local guide who will illuminate the city's history and culture. Begin your journey along the downtown waterfront, immersing yourself in the vibrant energy of downtown, just below Pike’s Place Market on Pier 62. As you stroll north along the waters’ edge, take in the dynamic interplay of the city and the sea, absorbing the essence of Seattle's maritime charm. You’ll soon reach the Outdoor Sculpture Park, where contemporary art installations harmonize with the urban landscape and dip your toes into the water at Pocket Beach, one of the few areas offering access in Elliot Bay. Continue your exploration through waterfront parks with amazing views of the glacially-carved Puget Sound, the Kitsap Peninsula, and the point of first-contact for settlers back in 1851, Alki Point. Hop over the tracks of BNSF Railroad and ascend through forested hillsides to elevated vantage points offering breathtaking views of Seattle and Puget Sound, where ferries gracefully traverse the waters against the backdrop of a bustling harbor. Marvel at the distant silhouette of the majestic Olympic Mountains, adding a touch of grandeur to Seattle's iconic skyline. After climbing through the green oasis of Kinnear Park, find respite in the midst of the city's hustle and bustle at Parson’s Garden; quoted as being “a secret garden for non-tourists”. Enjoy the historic architecture of Queen Anne Hill as you make your way to the city’s premier viewpoint, Kerry Park. Here, an iconic vista unfolds before you, featuring the Space Needle against the majestic backdrop of Mount Rainier. Your guide will weave tales of Seattle's history and architecture as you absorb the panoramic cityscape. Descend into the vibrant Seattle Center, home to the Space Needle, where you can explore the engineering marvel and its surroundings. Continue your urban hike with a visit to the tranquil Japanese Garden, a serene retreat nestled within the city, adorned with traditional landscaping and soothing water features. Just three blocks away the tour concludes, back at the Outdoor Sculpture Park along the waterfront, a short distance from where it began.
