From Gas Works Park, take the Burke-Gilman Trail (and connecting streets) west to Ballard’s Hiram M. Chittenden Locks. Walk your bike across the locks and continue west on Commodore Way to Discovery Park.

Ride south through the park to Magnolia Boulevard and follow around the bluff to the Elliott Bay Trail and through Myrtle Edwards Park.

Ride along the Seattle waterfront on Alaskan Way, then turn left onto South Jackson Street and follow the bike route signs through the Chinatown-International District to the Interstate 90 trail.

When you reach Lake Washington, follow signs for the Lake Washington loop north to the University of Washington. From there, hop back on the Burke-Gilman Trail and back to Gas Works Park.
