Tolt Pipeline - a two-hour walk

A close-in walk on a conditioning trail may be just the right thing to get our feet on the ground and everything involved in Thanksgiving traditions. This is a walk but very hilly. We did it last year the day after Thanksgiving. Plan on about a two-hour walk that begins at a parking lot on Avondale Road NE near Bear Creek Road NE and ambles up and down, with the final push being what is referred to as "heartbreak hill -- a real killer." Maybe this last bit gives you carte blanche for an extra Thanksgiving calories or a reason to avoid them -- your choice!

Those who want to keep walking when i turn back can add miles to the route as they wish.
Not sure what the forecast calls for but plan on walking rain or shine.. Bring your raingear.

Length: My route takes about two hours total, but you can walk longer if you wish.
Elevation gain: Per WTA's description, "... the trail has sections of variable difficulty, ranging from flat in the Sammamish River valley to the brief but Mailbox-esque incline of Hollywood Hill..." We'll be ascending that hill!
Pass: None
Privy: None
