This walk blends cultivated beauty with wild woodland charm. We’ll begin by exploring the Bellevue Botanical Garden during one of its most vibrant seasonal windows — when rhododendrons bloom, perennials light up the pathways, and spring feels fully awake. From there, we’ll wander through the forested trails connecting to Kelsey Creek Park, where open green fields and grazing farm animals create a peaceful rural feel in the heart of the Eastside.
This route is made for slow wonder — pausing to admire blooms, taking photos, sharing stories, or simply walking quietly with a warm beverage in hand. It’s a reminder that adventure doesn’t always require rugged terrain — just intention, community, and curiosity.
Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a light layer — mornings can still carry a little chill. No poles required. This hike is ideal for spring social joy, gentle movement, and reconnecting with the simple pleasure of being together outdoors.
We'll meet in the far north end of the north parking lot at the Green Lake Park and Ride, and directly under the I-5 freeway at 9 am. Rideshare for the day is $6 per person from the Green Lake Park and Ride, and is paid to the driver of the vehicle.
Green Lake Park and Ride: 8 am, $6
Our estimated time of arrival at the trailhead is: 9:30 am
Yes, there are two separate fees regarding this event. The event fee, and then a rideshare if you are riding as a passenger with a driver.
Sorry, no doggies are allowed at any Tenderfoot Adventures events as per our insurance policy. We all love our fur babies, and I am sure that yours is amazing as well, but alas, there are no doggies allowed at any of our events.
