Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, Seattle, Washington
We will explore the Locks and learn how they work, their role in maintaining the level of Lake Washington and how they transformed Seattle's maritime industry. We will look for harbor seals, and visit the fish ladder and look for salmon. Finally, in a small park nearby, we will visit Seattle's largest colony of nesting Great Blue Herons! It's an incredible sight to behold with 34 nests, each holding between 2 and 5 chicks. The chicks are loud, it's a glorious racket!
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Gas Works Park, Seattle, Washington
This one of a kind park was an inspired creation that took a heavily industrial site and transformed it into one of Seattle's favorite parks, with fabulous views across Lake Union to downtown and the Space Needle! Along the way we will learn the history of this iconic piece of old Seattle that still survives.
Duration: 1 hour
