HERBAN ADVENTURES Seward Park Trail Walk 3Mile Easy Hike w/Views + Picnic

DESCRIPTION: Come out for a brisk hike in nature—the perfect way to get some exercise incorporated into your Sunday Funday. Our slower-paced social walks are an extremely popular way to meet others in a safe, outdoor setting. Breathe deep, relax, and enjoy while getting some fresh air and exercise. This will be the first meetup of the year. Event is free to attend, but you must RSVP.

We will proceed to the trail which is half paved-half rugged. The trail is approximately 3 miles long with around 220 feet of gain and should take around 1.5 hours to complete. Why “only” 3 miles+/- and 220 feet+/- gain? Because it makes our events accessible to more people and community is the core of our events. There may be some hills, but we’ll climb them at our own pace and stay together as a group. No hiker left behind! Beginners are always welcome and encouraged to join! We’ll make several stops along the trail and on the water so that people can take pictures and admire the beautiful views.

This is a great event to talk and get to know other Washingtonians in a very casual and non-awkward way. Our host will be there to make introductions and everyone gets a chance to talk with everyone. You then have the option to hang out afterwards to picnic and eat lunch. The laughs during the hike, the global friendships that are made, and the fact of knowing there’s always a helping hand on a difficult bit are unique to this event. See you on the trail!

********************************************

ABOUT THE PARK: Situated on a peninsula surrounded by Lake Washington, Seward Park provides perhaps one of the greatest contrasts in Seattle: 100+ acres of old growth forest and lakefront access, just minutes from the city center.

DISTANCE: The hike is approximately 3 miles in a loop. These hikes are appropriate for beginners in good health.

RESTROOMS: At the gathering point.

********************************************

WHAT TO EXPECT:

There are no kids or pets allowed on the hikes for safety concerns. Please leave home with ample time and arrive promptly, taking traffic into consideration etc. We will meet at 1:00pm in front of the restroom building in the park to greet each other, do some stretches, and have a quick photo session before we start the walk. We won’t wait for late comers! We will take a headcount at the beginning of the walk and strive to keep the group together, but sometimes split happens. It isn't a race and we aim to keep no hiker left behind! Should the group get disconnected, we will stop at all trail forks for the group to catch up. Once we finish this beautiful Seward Park walk, we always end the walk with a picnic where the socializing can continue. Be sure to join us for the whole experience!

IF YOU ARE PARTICIPATING:

You are responsible for looking after your own health, safety and belongings. The leaders are human, things might happen. Be ready to be a part of the solution. Know what you are capable of and communicate that to the group leader.

CANNABIS DISCLAIMER:

If you want to consume cannabis before or after the hike, this group is friendly for that but please, understand that you are consuming at your own risk. Please do it discreetly at designated consumption areas since we will be on public land. We ask that you refrain during the hike on the trail. Also, although 420 is a friendly, legal social activity and we all remember the days of passing it around, you need to bring your own W**d, please. Some homies will probably be willing to share, but don’t expect that from anyone. Lastly, do not bring bongs or torches or ANY illegal drugs. Cannabis vape pens, joints, and edibles are preferred. Thank you for your understanding.

********************************************

WHAT TO BRING:

Comfortable outfit for the weather preferably hiking gear. You may just need a hat, light shirt or jacket, but be sure to layer, as you will warm up and the weather may change. A day pack or shoulder bag is recommended to carry your items.

Wear sturdy hiking boots/sneakers or regular sneakers with good traction that you don’t mind getting muddy. No sandals/flip flops!
