Fit Dogs Around The Bend

2/7/2014

Typist; Bethany
Right now the Cascadian Nomads are suffering from cabin fever due to extremely cold temperatures outside and my feeling a bit sick. Last week, though, fit dogs Wilhelm, Brychwyn, Huxley and I journeyed all the way around Alki point in West Seattle, from the West Seattle Bridge to Me-Kwa-Mooks Park. Our entire walk was a little over ten miles. We have had several posts about Alki point, from visiting the lighthouse to trekking through the forest of Schmitz Park to Alki beach. But the walking trail all the way around the bend of Alki, from Elliot Bay (pictured at Seacrest Park) to Puget Sound (pictured at Me-Kwa-Mooks Park) is a very popular tourist, pedestrian and cycling trail that we don't frequent. However, on a cold, partly cloudy and windy day, like we had last week, it is possible to have most of the gorgeous route all to ourselves.

The panorama photos from our walk were taken less than an hour apart. (Yes, I toted their 12th dog vests for the last half of the walk; those vests weren't made for ten mile treks!) The wind and waves on the sound were amazing compared to the calm bay we had just admired. I took the Vine between Seacrest and me-Kwa-Mooks Parks, before we reached Alki Beach Park. I just love to see those happy fit dogs enjoying our neighborhood adventures. This was truly a fun fit dog day to remember.

Do you have any great neighborhood urban hikes or local fit dog adventures that you only do once in a while?

We are suffering too. We at least can go out but the park is so wet there is nowhere to walk. Roll on Spring. Have a fabulous Friday.
Best wishes Molly

Wet doesn't bother us as much as cold! Well, when I say us I am not speaking for Brychwyn and Huxley- their fur coats can withstand anything!

Such beautiful scenery can make the exercise that much more fulfilling!

Your pack is in great shape.

Love the short video of all three steaming ahead on the way somewhere! We always avoid crowds which is just another reason we love winter activities. We rarely do much on weekends or evenings and try to get out on weekdays for our fun when most people are at work. Looks like a beautiful place you were hiking around.

It is so pretty and I feel bad having such a lovely place right here in our neighborhood that we rarely visit. But crowds are not our thing!

That looks fantastic! I would love to walk near the ocean like that.

"Right now the Cascadian Nomads are suffering from cabin fever due to extremely cold temperatures outside and my feeling a bit sick." I know the feeling its over -20 here in Canada and its hard to stay in but also dangerous to be out for too long! Can't wait for the sun to come back!

Well, our extremely cold is not nearly as extreme as yours, but now it is a warm 47 and raining! Hooray!

Gorgeous views! I've been to Alki Beach Park multiple times, but never made it to Me-Kwa Mooks - I'll have to give it a try! Love seeing all your local hikes and getting ideas. Although I have to say, we've been wusses lately in this cold (for Seattle) weather.

That is one amazing walk! I have cabin fever big time so I understand and we did get a short walk in today. There are some amazing walks to take your dog on in Chicago we are still working on them! Love Dolly

That must've been a beautiful and fun walk. :) We have a few paved walking/biking trails around here that we only go to every once in awhile.
