Frink Park, Seattle
The .75-mile Big Loop Trail winds through a 17-acre mixed urban forest past cooling slope wetlands and a waterfall. Benches provide spots to reflect and recharge for the uphill return to the trailhead.

Position your car (or bicycle) at the northern entrance to Seattle's Washington Park Arboretum and prepare for a lovely, in-city ride. Use Lake Washington Boulevard as your route south to Seward Park, about 15 miles.
The Arboretum ought to provide enough color of its own to keep you busy all day to say nothing of the Japanese Garden near its southern border, a must see. You can take the upper or lower roads (or both) for good fall viewing.
