A leisurely ride along the Burke-Gilman Trail is one of the best ways to see Seattle (just watch out for the walkers and roller-bladers). This 14-mile flat, paved track winds leisurely through Fremont, Ravenna and Wedgwood, hugs the shore of Lake Washington and joins the 14-mile Sammamish River trail in Bothell. There are easier ways to reach Marymoor Park, sure, but none as good to the heart and as easy on the eyes.
