Here's the North SeaTac Park trail description from Evergreen:

• North SeaTac Park (NST) offers trails that are predominantly XC oriented. These trails are excellent for all skill levels and perfect for those getting into mountain biking, those looking for an easy recreational ride or those looking to work on their fitness. The Park has it’s share of short hills and fun descents. The trail segments are short but offer a mix & match variety to accommodate all riders.

  Total singletrack length is approximately 4.5mls. Trails are not marked with signs. Some trails may have a rock garden (Kindergarden trail) as well as optional steep sections and drops. All advanced trails do have an easy bypass. These trails are multi directional and multi use for both pedestrians and equestrians. Please be courteous and follow proper trail etiquette and posted park rules. The park is open year round. The trails can be ridden with the garden variety entry level mountain or cross bike.

   

  Directions

  You can follow directions to North SeaTac BMX, then head south to the end of the block on 18th Ave S (the dirt road on the west side of the BMX track). We'll park next to the closed gate & ride in from there. Here are coordinates you can plug into your phone https://goo.gl/maps/wHu4vyFy4yuCPGM26  (feel free to text me if you can't figure it out when you get there).

  We'll meet at 5:00, then after a quick intro & bike check, we'll hit the trails. Please be on time; we can't wait longer than 10 minutes for late riders to arrive.
