For all the fuss, the East Lake Sammamish Trail is fairly anticlimactic.
It's a pleasant enough lane weaving along the shore of Lake Sammamish atop an old railroad bed, mostly between and past a curious blend of old lakeside cottages and more recently sprouted edifices of opulence. But for eight years after King County purchased the corridor, this trail was derailed by a train of contention stemming from residents' concerns. So somehow when you finally travel it, you expect it to be more than it is.

With wind-chill factors down to subzero temperatures and mountain snow the consistency of porcelain, this seemed a good opportunity to rediscover the magic of Golden Gardens, one of my favorite city parks.
