Name: Post-Thanksgiving Arboretum hike - 5 miles
Start: 2025-11-28T09:45:00-05:00
End: 2025-11-28T12:00:00-05:00
Location: National Arboretum

Let's work off the Thanksgiving meal with a visit to the National Arboretum!

The US National Arboretum is a research facility and public garden of the U.S. Dept of Agriculture We'll check out some of the arboretum's 450 acres via paved roads and wooded trails, including Mt. Hamilton, one of DC's highest points for a view of the Capitol.

There is lots of parking. I recommend the R St entrance (vs the NY Ave entrance), as it brings you right to the Visitor Center and easier to access than busy NY Ave. **Enter "2400 R Street NE" into your GPS for directions**). If coming by bike, there's a Capital Bikeshare dock just outside the R St gate, and bike racks inside the gates.

We will finish the hike as the Arboretum starts their annual Christmas tree sale at 12pm.
