- Blyth Park lies along the Sammamish River in the City of Bothell. Near the park entrance are all the amenities you would expect: a large parking lot, restrooms, plenty of picnic tables and a playground. One of the main attractions here is the 10-hole disc golf course (watch out for flying discs, some of the holes run across the trail!).
- Potholes (Lacamas Creek) (OregonHikers.org)
“The Potholes” is the local name for a waterfall on Lacamas Creek. The soft rock here has been eroded into rolling curves punctuated by deeper “potholes”. The potholes are created when harder stones become trapped in a depression in the softer rock. Winter currents swirl the rock around and around grinding away at the softer stone. Lacamas Creek has dramatically lower water levels In the summer, when this area looks like an ornamental waterfall in someone’s garden, admittedly someone with a big budget. It’s easy to hop around and investigate dozens of small drops, potholes, and pools separated by channels sometimes less than a foot wide.
- Tolt Pipeline Trail (wta.org)
The Tolt pipeline provides water to the City of Seattle and runs from the Tolt Reservoir in the Cascades to the Lake Forest Park Reservoir. The pipeline passes though Seattle’s northern Eastside suburbs, and the pipeline’s 100-foot-wide right-of-way has been converted in part to a non-paved, multi-use trail for equestrians, dog walkers, mountain bikers, joggers, and hikers. The trail runs 12 miles from Duvall to Bothell.
