#4 Bike the Capital Crescent Trail
Long Ride
27 miles, about 3 ½ to 4 Hours of cycling. Allow 5 to 6 Hours

Description
The Rails-to-Trails Conservancy has converted thousands of miles of railroad right of way into incredible multi-use paths, and this one is spectacular! Following the scenic C&O Canal through Georgetown, then turning north, the scenic Capital Crescent Trail passes under old wooden railroad trestles and through a long brick tunnel. This pathway into history and nature endures as a national treasure. Returning through Rock Creek Park, a wedge of wilderness in the nation's capital, is an exceptional ride!
