The Burke-Gilman Trail is a 27-mile trail, mostly flat, in the Seattle, Washington metro area. It winds through urban areas in the north end of Seattle, from Ballard to the University District, and then north to the end of Lake Washington. There it becomes the Sammamish River Trail, and follows the Sammamish River southwards, ending at Marymoor Park in Redmond, Washington.
Thanks to Felix Kasza for sending a GPS trace of this route, which has improved the map considerably (though I could not import all the points in the trace, as it would have made the site perform poorly).

Is there a way to download the GPS trace of this route?
Thanks!
Sorry, I don’t have that GPS trace any more. On my To Do list is to make a way to get a GPX generated from the same database that puts the blue lines on the map, but I haven’t done it yet.
Maybe I’ll have some time over the holidays to work on this, we’ll see!

Thanks! Thank you for the quick reply too. :)
Hello, I ride this route quite often between Redmond and my home in North Seattle. The best thing about it is that there are no stop lights to wait at. It makes the trip quick and satisfying and there isn\’t too much street riding.
