The Sammamish River Trail

Sammamish River Trail: Facing north at 1 mi Hello bunny!

One thing I love about visiting Redmond is being able to run some of my favorite courses. The place I miss most when it comes to running is the Sammamish River Trail. It starts in Marymoor Park in Redmond, Washington and follows the Sammamish River for several miles before it changes into the Burke-Gilman Trail in Bothel. I often start at McRedmond Park, which has easier access than Marymoor (and they don't charge for parking either).



On Monday I took our little point-and-shoot camera with me when I went running. I also had my Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS watch. Using those (and some C# programming) I created a KML file of my run that you can view with Google Earth. This file also knows how to bring in pictures from our Flickr account so that you can see where I ran and the pictures I took.
