We love Bradner Gardens Park! It has so many working parts - P-Patch; demonstration garden; nice views of downtown; an incredible log sculpture depicting the life-cycle of salmon (including a kingfisher eating a fry). Check out the amazing unisex bathroom!

Mount Baker Ridge Viewpoint is a highlight of this walk; from here you can see Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains through the gap left by the Dearborn Regrade (partially hidden by tree on right)
From the start of this route, it's a 0.9 mile one-way side trip over to the Horton Street stairs, which feature a water-spouting gargoyle at the bottom (rainy days only)! Check out the picture here.

IslandWood is an environmental education non-profit on Bainbridge Island. Seattle elementary schools visit our campus for one week to stay at the "School in the Woods." During their stay, their awareness of flora and fauna is often heightened, and they return to the "city" ready to find the natural world in their everyday life. This blog is a stellar example of doing just that!
