The Secret Garden Hike In Washington Will Make You Feel Like You’re In A Fairytale

Whether you’re an inexperienced hiker or a pro, you know it’s the scenery that can truly break a trail. And if what you’re looking for is a nice, mellow nature walk that takes you past everything from maples to magnolias, you’ll love the trail at the Washington Park Arboretum in Seattle. In fact, some parts are downright fairytale-like.

The Washington Park Arboretum's land was once the property of the Puget Mill Company.

The path that winds through the park is more of a nature walk than a hike, but you'll care more about the scenery than strenuous exercise.

Azalea Way, the main road through the park, is especially enticing in the springtime.

Azalea Way was once a road for the mill, and now it's an ADA-accessible path lined with flowering bushes and lush greenery.

You won't believe you're still in Seattle as you stroll along this path.

The Waterfront Trail takes you straight to the shores of Duck Bay near Lake Washington.

It's easy to see why this park is so pleasant.

The Washington Park Arboretum trail is perfect for people of any skill or fitness level. These short and sweet hikes are also great for beginners or anyone short on time.
