After meeting at the UW campus, participants will travel together to Rachel's Ginger Beer at the University Village Shopping Center. There, they will have the opportunity to try different ginger beer flavors like original, mango, white peach, and pink guava. Finally, the group will embark on a leisurely walk along the Burke-Gilman Trail where their journey will end at the scenic destination, Gas Works Park.
