Looking for low-key Sunday morning walks on the east side
I know there are a ton of park and trail threads and I've been sifting through older posts, but I'm hoping for some fresh, specific recs.
I live on the east side and want a calm Sunday morning walk for about 45 to 90 minutes. Nothing intense or training-focused, just a place to decompress and maybe sit on a bench for a few minutes with a little puzzle book. I'd prefer decent shade, an easy-to-follow loop or out-and-back, and a relaxed vibe. Bonus if parking is straightforward and it doesn't turn into a zoo by 10 am.
Preferences:
\- Easy loop or out-and-back that's simple to follow
\- Feels safe and used, but not packed
\- Some tree cover (I can handle sun, just not full sun the whole time)
\- Prefer to avoid loud road noise
I've done the obvious spots nearer downtown and they fill up fast. What are your go-to east side or east-ish places for a quiet morning walk? #local
