Earthworks Tour by Bicycle

Thanks to everyone who joined us for the Inaugural Ride!

Self-Guided Bicycle Tours Open Year Round

The Herbert Bayer Earthwork, the Robert Morris Earthwork, the Green River Natural Resources Area, and Lorna Jordan's Waterworks Garden are the destinations you’ll visit on the Earthworks Tour. These four iconic landscapes in the Green River Valley are internationally recognized, but not widely known locally. To encourage more people to experience these extraordinary land art and reclamation projects in their own backyard, the Kent Arts Commission has developed this permanent, signed bike route that is open for self-guided tours year round. 

Here is a detailed map and cue sheet that you can PRINT and take with you. Please note our disclaimer at the bottom of this page.

The Earthworks Tour will be expanded upon within the coming months and years as new routes become available to bicyclists. For instance, the Green River Trail is currently closed due to sandbags. Please check this website periodically for route updates. The City of Kent is committed to improving its bicycle and walking network. 

Getting to the Start Line

The start line is the Herbert Bayer Earthwork, Mill Creek Canyon Earthworks Park, located at 742 East Titus Street (enter via Reiten Road). Free parking is also available in the neighboring Senior Activity Center at  600 East Smith Street (enter via Kennebeck Avenue). Bicyclists can connect to the start line via the nearby Interurban Trail -or- connect via transit at nearby Kent Station. 

Easy, Intermediate and Advanced Ride Options

The ride offers three routes for different riding abilities. The Easy Ride, recommended for families, is a 12-mile, flat ride to the Green River Natural Resources Area and back. The Intermediate Loop is a 20-mile ride that takes riders through the Green River Natural Resources Area and out to Lorna Jordan’s Waterworks Gardens. It is also mostly flat with a single, long incline approaching Waterworks Gardens. The Advanced Ride follows the 20-mile route but includes a steep hill climb up to the Robert Morris Earthwork that adds 3 miles. 

Tour Tips

All of the roadways and trails along the tour are paved. Visitors can bike to each location but should plan to walk through the earthworks, so if you're wearing bicycle shoes, you might want to toss a pair of sneakers in your bag. Bicycle racks are located at all 4 locations. 

Sections of the tour are remote, so you might want to bring a picnic lunch. Alternatively, there are several restaurants located in downtown Kent and the Kent Farmers Market is open from 9am-2pm on Saturdays, June - September. 

About the Sponsors

The Earthworks Tour is sponsored by the Kent Arts Commission and supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Art’s Mayors Institute on City Design 25th Anniversary Initiative. Over 600 cities were eligible to apply for this grant program, with only 21 cities awarded funding. Nationally, the arts sector generates over $166 billion annually in economic activity. Art is a key element to making cities attractive to grow businesses, tourism, and jobs. The Kent Arts Commission thanks their local agency partners for making this program possible. Cascade Bicycle Club, 4Culture and the City of Renton co-produced the Earthworks Tour. The Herbert Bayer Earthwork is part of the Kent Arts Commission Collection, and the Green River Natural Resources Area is managed by the City of Kent Public Works Department. The Robert Morris Earthwork (located in Sea-Tac) and Lorna Jordan's Waterworks Gardens (located in Renton) are part of the King County Public Art Collection and managed by 4Culture. 4Culture Site Specific co-sponsored the temporary art projects during the Inaugural Ride. Recent restoration of the Herbert Bayer Earthwork was supported by 4Culture Historic Preservation, along with a generous grant from American Express and the National Trust for Historic Preservation's "Partners in Preservation" program.

Tips 

• The tour can be completed in 3 hours if you sprint (and traffic is good). Allowing a half-day is more enjoyable. 
• Parking at the Robert Morris Earthwork and Waterworks Gardens is limited. 
• All of the sites require a lot of walking. The Robert Morris is not ADA and quite steep. Unless in good health, it is recommended that you not descend into the pit, but instead view the site from the parking lot. Sturdy shoes are recommended. Goats help with vegetation management but are not on site year-round.
• If you are visiting from outside of the Northwest, please keep in mind that the weather here changes quickly. Dress in layers and bring both sunglasses and an umbrella. 
• Enjoy breakfast or lunch in historic downtown Kent and dinner at Kent Station.  
• The maps shown above are available here as a printable PDF.

What will see on the Earthworks Tour?

The Green River Valley, located just south of Seattle, hosts an extraordinary collection of land art and reclamation sites. Collectively, these sites are referred to as “earthworks.” The Herbert Bayer Earthwork, Green River Natural Resources Area, the Robert Morris Earthwork and Lorna Jordan’s Waterworks Gardens are more than just visually interesting and fun to experience: these places demonstrate important, artistic solutions to complicated land-use issues such as flood control and reclamation. 

In 1979, the artist Robert Morris was at the forefront of both Minimalism and Land Art when he was asked by the King County Arts Commission to reclaim a gravel pit overlooking the Valley. A few months later, at the request of the Kent Arts Commission, the Bauhaus master Herbert Bayer was asked to integrate a stormwater detention dam into a public park. Both of these artists were commissioned as part of the King County Arts Commission’s groundbreaking Earthworks: Land Reclamation as Sculpture symposium. 

The symposium is still remarkable to this day. It marks an important moment in thinking - that artists could be meaningful place makers - that they could use their skill and visionary spirit to create spaces for public use. - Cath Brunner, 4Culture 

The same year as the symposium, the Kent Public Works Department began transforming an abandoned sewage lagoon into one of the largest man-made, multi-use wildlife refuges in the United States. Two decades later, Lorna Jordan’s ecological artwork at the Renton sewage treatment plant began purifying stormwater, enhancing a wetland, and providing eight acres of garden rooms and open space for public use.

These public places are remarkable. While they would normally have been fenced-off from all visitors, due to the artists’ involvement, these industrial sites are destinations for international and local tourists. Now with the opening of the Earthworks Tour, individuals with a passion for bird watching, landscape design, ecology and art can visit on bicycle.

This website provides an introduction to these four landscapes, with a special emphasis on the Herbert Bayer Earthwork, which is an important part of the City of Kent's public art collection. The Robert Morris Earthwork and Lorna Jordan's Waterworks Gardens are both part of 4Culture's public art collection, located in Sea-Tac and Renton, respectively. As noted above, the Green River Natural Resources Area is managed by the City of Kent's Public Works Department.

The Herbert Bayer Earthwork

A dam in the ordinary sense constitutes a radical interference with the natural configuration of the land. My intent was, therefore, to give the dams a natural appearance conforming to the landscape . . .   – Herbert Bayer, King County Arts Commission newsletter, August   1982

As a Bauhaus master, Herbert Bayer’s entire career was dedicated to integrating artistic concerns into the everyday operations of society. With the Mill Creek Canyon Earthworks, he created a much loved public park, a stormwater detention dam and a Modernist masterpiece. Installed in 1982, the Earthworks was immediately lauded for its fusion of art and infrastructure, making the installation a powerful precedent for engineers, landscape architects and artists.   

A series of sculpted spaces that feel both ancient and modern, the Earthworks’ pure forms—cones, circles, lines and berms—are built into the alluvial delta at the mouth of Mill Creek Canyon. Grass and concrete, a wood bridge and steps: these are the materials at work, joined by the natural forces of Mill Creek itself. 

[editor's note: When Herbert Bayer first began exploring land art in Aspen, CO in 1955, the term earthwork didn't exist. The title of the artwork in Kent is the "Mill Creek Canyon Earthworks," but we often refer to it as the "Earthwork", or to the "Herbert Bayer Earthwork" to distinguish it from Robert Morris' work. ]  

Hydrology

These aerial photographs illustrate how the Herbert Bayer Earthworks performs during a storm event. While they are not taken from exactly the same orientation, you can still see how the double-ring pond is submerged underwater in the photograph on the left, with the split-rings barely rises above the surface. You can also see how the large berm functions as both a sculptural element and earthen dam, preventing the stormwater from flooding downtown Kent. 

Restoration & Landmark Designation

In April 2008, Mill Creek Canyon Earthworks was proclaimed "exceptionally significant" and became the City of Kent's first landmark.

Later that summer, the Earthworks underwent a dam safety construction project. This project was necessary because state regulations required the dam to meet a 10,000 year storm event, an increase from the dam's original 100-year storm design. Substanatial changes were made to the dam's main berm and spillways to meet this increase in stormwater capacity.
 

After removing invasive plants, Earth Day volunteers pose with the Partners in Preservation "Vote Eartworks: Kent's Dam Park" yard signs, 2010.

The Kent Arts Commission is committed to honoring the physical and conceptual aspects that comprise Herbert Bayer's original design. Generous support for the first phase of restoration came from American Express and the National Trust for Historic Preservation's "Partners in Preservation" program and a 4Culture Landmark Challenge grant. The funding allowed the City of Kent to improve drainage in the bowls, repave the pathways, restore the double-ring pond and restore the view corridor along the stream.

Kent’s “Dam” Park Wins $70,000 “Partners in Preservation” Award Thanks to Community Support

KENT, Wash. — June 15, 2010 — American Express and the National Trust for Historic Preservation announced today Mill Creek Canyon Earthworks Park has been named recipient of a $70,000 grant award in the 2010 “Partners in Preservation” program. One of 25 historic place contenders, Herbert Bayer Earthworks competed in a month long contest where the public voted online for their favorite places to receive funding.

“We couldn’t have done it without the public’s support,” said Cheryl dos Remedios, Visual Arts Coordinator for the City of Kent. “Their votes really made a difference. We finished in 12th place with three percent of the vote.”

Grant winners were chosen by an Advisory Committee comprised of civic and preservation leaders from the Seattle-Puget Sound area, as well as representatives from American Express and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Factors that were considered in the selection process included public voting results and community support for the project, the preservation needs of the site, historic significance, project completion ability, and the role the site plays in the community.

“Funding from this grant will be used to restore the sculptural and artistic elements of the Earthworks to their original design. This includes restoring the channel that runs through the split ring and connects into the double ring pond. We’ll also fix drainage in the bowls of the park and repave pathways,” Remedios said.

The Earthworks is not only an internationally recognized artwork and popular public park but it also serves as a water detention dam, protecting the Kent Valley from flooding since its opening in 1982.

Essays and Studio

With tongue firmly in cheek, the channeling herbert exhibition provided contemporary comment on Bayer's design in the face of change. As part of the 25th Anniversary Earthworks Celebration, the Kent Arts Commission invited respected artists, landscape architects and historians to participate in this exhibit. Images and essays by over thirty-five participants allow for a deeper understanding of Herbert Bayer's influence.

As much as Herbert Bayer created a physical place, he also created a model for interdisciplinary collaboration. In this spirit, in 2007 the Kent Arts Commission asked a University of Washington Studio to collaborate with Kent Public Works to address new storm water regulations and vegetation management. The Studio also reviewed archival documents to clarify Bayer's vision for his project, as it was designed and as it has aged. The City of Kent Public Works Department hopes to incorporate some of the students' design solutions into future projects along the canyon. 
 

Articles

"Park" does not begin to describe the critically acclaimed land art to be found [in the Green River Valley]. For the last 40 years, forward-thinking arts commissioners and government employees have explored creative alliances, nontraditional funding sources, existing land-use regulations, and a public process to reclaim and reshape these lands.  

"Earthworks: Art & Landscape in Washington's Green River Valley" 

by Cheryl dos Remedios

Forum Journal, National Trust for Historic Preservation
 

Twenty-five years ago, in the younger, bolder days of Washington's public-art programs, the mayor of a small city south of Seattle latched onto a grand vision for a public-works project. The engineering need was straightforward: a dam that would prevent stormwaters from deluging the city.    

 "Work of art, work of Earth"
by Sheila Farr, Seattle Times art critic 

Herbert Bayer was born in the hamlet of Haag, Austria, on April 5, 1900. His father, a government revenue officer, and mother encouraged young Herbert’s interest in nature and art, allowing him to roam into the hills and mountains near his childhood home in Linz with his sketchbook.

Formal recognition of historic properties through landmark designation is typically confined to sites that are at least 40 years old or older – and rarely is a property found to be of such exceptional significance that the age criterion is waived.  But such was the case on April 24, 2008 when the King County Landmarks Commission, acting for the City of Kent, designated the Mill Creek Canyon Earthworks as a City of Kent Landmark.  Nominated by the Kent Arts Commission, the Earthworks is the City’s first designated landmark.      

"Earthworks Designated Historic Landmark" 

by Julie Koler and Cheryl dos Remedios  

 In 1979, The King County Arts Commission convened a symposium entitled Earthworks: Land Reclamation as Scupture, and invited eight artists to create reclamation plans, choosing from more than 100 industrial sites lying fallow in the county. The commissione hoped ot address the ecological issues at each site while converting the landscapes into usable community spaces through earthwork designs.

A Place for People: The Herbert Bayer Earthworks

This short film explores the Earthworks' contribution to the field of Public Art and explains how an icon of green infrastructure has evolved over time. 

In the 1970s, a group of women living in Kent desired to start an arts commission. Their plans quickly became intertwined with the broader history of public art in our region. Installed in 1982, the Earthworks was immediately lauded for its fusion of art and infrastructure, yet the issues that initially necessitated the project continue to intensify. Changes in storm water and fisheries regulations have impacted the work, prompting a cross-disciplinary investigation into the artist Herbert Bayer's original intent, his biography and his influence. In 2008, the Earthworks was designated an "exceptionally significant" local landmark, just prior to a major dam safety construction project. Today, as the Earthworks is being renovated, the Kent Arts Commission continues to host contemporary dance performances and eco-art installations at the site. 

Originally created for the Americans for the Arts earthworks tour, the premiere public screening of this documentary took place at the Henry Auditorium on Thursday, September 24, 2009. The evening began with a cello performance by the composer Paul Rucker, who also contributed the soundtrack. 

This documentary is a collaboration between many organizations and individuals, including the Kent Arts Commission, the Kent Landmarks Commission, the City of Kent Cultural Division, Parks Planning and Maintenance, Environmental Engineering and Multimedia. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank 4Culture, King County Historic Preservation Program, University of Washington's Department of Landscape Architecture's Construction/Hydrology Studio, SvR Design, Kent Historical Society, Seattle Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs and Seattle Art Museum as well as all of the artists, landscape architects and historians who participated in the "channeling herbert" exhibition. We gratefully acknowledge all of the Kent community members who supported the installation of the Bayer Earthworks, as well as everyone involved in the "Earthworks: Land Reclamation as Sculpture" symposium. 

In lasting rememberance of Seth Frankel, co-director/producer and editor.
