Wilburton Hill Park has an old forest of tall timbers. You don't need a compass for navigation - just look at the moss on the tree trunks

The Tolt Pipeline Trail, follows the pipeline that is part of the water supply system for Seattle. It travels 12 miles from Duvall to Bothell, following a 100-foot-wide right-of-way. This gravel, multi-use trail is popular with equestrians, dog walkers, mountain bikers, joggers, and hikers. It stretches east-west, with few bends, crossing local roads, and featuring varied terrain, including flat sections in the Sammamish River valley and steep climbs like “cardiac hill” in Woodinville. The route is mostly sun-exposed and has all sorts of wildflowers, invasive plants, and occasional wildlife like deer, rabbits, and even bobcats. Trailheads are accessible in Duvall, Bothell, and Woodinville.

This is a very busy bicycle interchange, especially on sunny days. The Sammamish River trail to and from Marymoor park splits from the Bear Creek trail to and from Redmond, and meets the 520 Bike trail to and from Bellevue - all at the same bridge. With four trail directions feeding into and splitting out from this bridge, you'd think it would be a freeway madhouse. However, there is plenty of vegetation, wildlife and peace and quiet. Just make sure you keep your eyes on the trail while moving, rather than on the view. Please PULL OVER to enjoy that.

Better yet, try out one of the velodrome's classes - training and races there are super well-run, and it's a very welcoming group !
