I’m planning a one day walk around Lake Washington in a few weeks, which should end up between 50-60 miles and is expected to take ~14 hours starting around 5am. I’m struggling to find much recent coverage of a walk like this, and wonder if anyone has input on preferred routes or things to keep in mind.
I’m an avid Pokemon GO player and am no stranger to long walks (finished the 24 mile Seattle Super Saunter in ~6 hours). I plan to start around Madrona around 5am and walk along a route a mapped out, with occasional stops for snack/bathroom and maybe a quick lunch somewhere in the later half of the day. This will be the farewell walk for my Hokas before they are retired and replaced, and I always bring plenty of water, snacks, phone chargers, etc.
Any input on route, places to avoid or be sure to check out, personal urban hiking experience anecdotes, etc? Let me know!
