With most of it off-road, it makes for a relaxing ride with plenty of variety, and many opportunities to stop and enjoy the unique vibe of the city of Seattle. It is a former railroad right-of-way, and as such is quite flat, with not too many intersections. When these occur, they are well marked, with plenty of safety features. For example, some of those that don&#8217;t have traffic lights have Stop signs that start flashing when cyclists approach. We loved our bike rides on the Burke-Gilman Trail.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_29696\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29696\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/bGzuPf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"29696\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/burke-gilman-trail-seattle\/woman-in-blue-on-burke-gilman-trail\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/woman-in-blue-on-Burke-Gilman-trail.jpg?fit=750%2C420&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,420\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"woman in blue on Burke-Gilman trail\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/woman-in-blue-on-Burke-Gilman-trail.jpg?fit=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/woman-in-blue-on-Burke-Gilman-trail.jpg?fit=750%2C420&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-29696 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/woman-in-blue-on-Burke-Gilman-trail.jpg\" alt=\"The Burke-Gilman Trail is a former railroad right-of-way, and as such is quite flat, with not too many intersections\" width=\"750\" height=\"420\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-29696\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"29696\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/burke-gilman-trail-seattle\/woman-in-blue-on-burke-gilman-trail\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/woman-in-blue-on-Burke-Gilman-trail.jpg?fit=750%2C420&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,420\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"woman in blue on Burke-Gilman trail\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/woman-in-blue-on-Burke-Gilman-trail.jpg?fit=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/woman-in-blue-on-Burke-Gilman-trail.jpg?fit=750%2C420&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-29696 size-full lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/woman-in-blue-on-Burke-Gilman-trail.jpg?resize=750%2C420&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The Burke-Gilman Trail is a former railroad right-of-way, and as such is quite flat, with not too many intersections\" width=\"750\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/woman-in-blue-on-Burke-Gilman-trail.jpg?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/woman-in-blue-on-Burke-Gilman-trail.jpg?resize=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/woman-in-blue-on-Burke-Gilman-trail.jpg?resize=150%2C84&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/woman-in-blue-on-Burke-Gilman-trail.jpg?resize=250%2C140&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/woman-in-blue-on-Burke-Gilman-trail.jpg?resize=320%2C179&amp;ssl=1 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> The Burke-Gilman Trail is a former railroad right-of-way, and as such is quite flat, with not too many intersections<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Details of the Burke-Gilman Trail<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Surfaces<\/strong>: mixed, some paved, some trail<\/p>\n<p><strong>Difficulty level<\/strong>: suitable for adults, mainly off-road, but many traffic intersections that would not be suitable for unaccompanied children.

Ten men, led by judge Thomas Burke and Daniel Gilman, founded the Seattle Lake Shore and Eastern Railway in 1885. At its peak, the line extended from the north of Seattle&#8217;s downtown to Arlington, and to Rattlesnake Prairie above Snoqualmie Falls. Northern Pacific Railway took over the line in 1890, and later abandoned the line in 1971. Then in 1978, 12 miles of it were opened as a public trail, and named after Burke and Gilman. This segment extended from the Gas Works Park to Tracy Owen Station.<\/p>\n<p>Now the trail is twice as long, and still evolving. There is a notorious &#8220;missing link,&#8221; difficult to fill in because it passes through the industrial Salmon Bay waterfront, and local business people oppose it (now where have I heard that before!).<\/p>\n<h3>Fun Things to Do on the Burke-Gilman Trail<\/h3>\n<p>Riding along a bike trail is an excellent way to explore a new city. You are going slow enough to discover cool stuff, but fast enough to cover a lot of ground before exhaustion sets in.<\/p>\n<p>On the Burke-Gilman bike trail we discovered the dramatic Gas Works Park, right next to the trail. This is a public park situated on the site of the former Seattle Gas Light Company. I found the old gas works machines quite breathtakingly awesome.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_29668\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29668\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption
