The opening of the Cedar River trail


Opening of the Cedar River Trail
Glacier Park Green Team adopts the trail


This fall, the City of Maple Valley and King County working together made major improvements on the south end of the Cedar River Trail that winds through the forest near Glacier Park.  This trail stretches from the Cedar River in Renton beyond 280th street near Glacier Park.  A perfect place to walk the dog, bike with the family, or connect with nature, the trail winds its way through Maple Valley like a backbone; connecting neighborhoods, and providing a alternative  "green" mode of transportation.  
Prior to the opening of the trail, and in conjunction with Make A Difference Day, the Tahoma High School Green Team  members along with their advisor Mrs. Nance removed trash and debris. 
The Glacier Park Elementary School Green Team has adopted the trail and will walk the trail four times a year to clean up trash and report any needs for repair or other concerns.  Glacier Park Green Team was on hand for the ceremonial ribbon cutting and are looking forward to the opportunity to provide stewardship to this precious natural resource.  Maple Valley is a wonderful place to live and raise a family.  Our quality of life is enhanced because we have places in our city, like this trail, where we can relax, enjoy nature, and spend time with our families.
