Hike: the Woods of Wolf Trap w/ BYO picnic lunch (VA)
This 3.5mile easy hike has short hills. Pace: 3mph. The trek traverses Wolf Trap national park for the Performing Arts. After exploring the main concert area known as the Filene Center, the hike wanders through the colorful woodland before encircling Wolf Trap Farm pond. Latter of the circuit overlooks the Children's Theater-in-the-Woods, then parallels a scenic section of Wolf Trap creek, concluding with a gander through a Garden. Highlights include a mellow Marsh meander & a calamitous 'creek curve cliff'. A hair- raising hike!
NOTES:
1. Trail Forecast= MAP | Lots of roots & rocks. Beginning of hike has some road/ highway noise.
2. MEET SPOT PARKING LOT/ TRAILHEAD [use this link for GPS]; this is located at the bottom of a hill behind the Filene Center, beyond 'lot 4'.
