Review:<\/strong> <\/strong>September 22, 2008, July 2,

\nThis is a very pleasant walk along a small creek. The eastern part of the walk
\nis through meadows and wetlands. The middle portion passes by soccer fields and
\nunder power lines. The last portion is mostly forested. The City of Vancouver
\nplans future trail development to continue eastward toward I-205 and Beaver
\nMarsh, eventually connecting to the Heritage Trail. <\/p>\n

From the eastern trailhead at NE 92nd Avenue, head west along the wide concrete
\nand paved trail. The trail is in the middle of a wide greenway and a Bonneville
\nPower right of way. The high-voltage powerlines soon comes into view and the
\ntrail follows near the powerlines for about half of the trail. <\/p>\n

About .3 mile the trail passes under 86th Avenue. From there the trail soon
\npasses a junction to the right that leads up to 86th Avenue. In about .6 miles
\nfarther the trail curves and passes a junction on the right that leads across
\nthe creek and past some seasonal ponds to Andreson Road. This junction can be
\nfollowed by turning right to cross Andreson at NE 18th Street then back to the
\ntrail on the west side of Andreson. This loop rejoins the main trail in another
\n.4 mile and passes by the Greenway Trailhead. <\/p>\n

Follow the main trail or the loop westward to the Devine Road trailhead. From
\nDevine Road, the character of the trail becomes more urban and passes close to
\nhouses and soccer fields. The trail crosses E 18th Street and E Fourth Plain
\nBlvd in another .4 mile. <\/p>\n

From E Fourth Plain Blvd in another the trail goes past a large grassy area and
\ndrops down past some apartments into a forest and along Burnt Bridge Creek.
\nNear SR500 the trail passes a large patch of Jewelweed with its pendulous
\norange flowers. Be sure to check out the seed pods in the fall. They will pop
\nin your hand and shoot their seeds far. <\/p>\n

The trail follows along SR500  but the highway is high above. The trail
\ncrosses under an overpass and climbs up to St. Johns Road.<\/p>\n

Heading west, cross St. John\u2019s and drop down along Burnt Bridge Creek. The
\ntrail passes through a meadow and along the edge of a forest with the sounds of
\nthe highway in the distance. The trail comes out on a subdivision road. Follow
\nthe road up to 15th Avenue, go across the street, and continue into Leverich
\nPark. The trail passes by a disc golf area which is very popular.<\/p>\n

Once in the park, make the first right and skirt the park, passing the Leverich
\nPark Trailhead in about .3 mile. Continue past the trailhead and follow
\nLeverich Park Way, down a hill, turning left at the small brown signs for the
\ncreek and the Discovery Trail. Cross over Burnt Bridge Creek.<\/p>\n

A short distance down the Discovery Trail is the next junction, waypoint JCED
\nand is the junction of the Discovery Trail and the Ellen Davis Trail. To the
\nleft is the main trail and leads towards Hazel Dell and Main Street, to the
\nright is Highway 99. These trailheads have no parking and are intended for
\nlocal access only.<\/p>\n

In a few hundred feet is another junction. At this junction you can see the
\npedestrian overpass across the freeway. Turn left here and cross over the
\nfreeway and make a right at the next junction, then follow the bike path down
\nalong the west side of the freeway.<\/p>\n

The trail goes through a short tunnel, turns left, and comes out to Hazel Dell
\nAvenue. Make a right at Hazel Dell Avenue, going north about 500 feet, look for
\nthe trail on the left, just after the guardrail starts. Look on the left side
\nof the road for the trail sign which says Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway. Cross
\nthe road, and continue west on the bike path along Burnt Bridge Creek. This is
\nalso part of the Discovery Trail.<\/p>\n

The trail crosses two roads and the creek a couple of times, the trail goes
\ndownhill and comes to a fork in the trail at the beginning of a large meadow.
\nTake either fork as they rejoin in about .2 mile.<\/p>\n

The trail continues west through the forest with views of Burnt Bridge Creek.
\nLooking towards the creek you can see the creek enter a long, wide meadow and
\nthen some big ponds. Shortly after the ponds the trail reaches the western
\ntrailhead at the Stewart Glen Trailhead and is called the Dorothy Langsdorf
\nDiscovery Trail on the Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway.<\/p>\n

On the return trip, turn left off Hazel Dell Avenue just after 5205. If you see
\nthe mailbox for 5115 or a lower address, you\u2019ve missed the junction to get back
\nonto the Discovery Trail. Peddling down the Ellen Davis Trail you cross an
\narched wooden bridge called the Friendship Bridge. This is the end of the paved
\ntrail. The trail the rest of the way to a parking is graveled and a bit steep.
\nThere are two junctions in the trail but they come together into on the trail
\nthat goes to the top of the hill and a trailhead parking lot.<\/p>\n

Enjoy
