Sea Kayaking

Baseball is back! Come watch the Cubs take on the Nationals in the season's home opening series. We'll be at Crystal City Sports Pub on Saturday, March 28, 2026 @ 2:15 pm. Looking forward to a great season!

The plan is to meet at Vienna Metro (north side parking lot) at 8am. We'll arrive at Wolf Gap Campground parking lot at \~9:30am. We'll then head up to Tibbet Knob and camp at the site along halfmoon run. Sunday, we'll continue around to check out Big Schloss, then back to the cars. Splits will be \~16/11. Here's the planned route on CalTopo: [https://caltopo.com/m/RA0A63S](https://caltopo.com/m/RA0A63S). If you are an "applicant" (meaning that this is your first DCUL trip), please send me your gear list. I will hold some spots for applicants so please join the waitlist!

Join us on a go-at-you-own-pace circuit hike of about 27 paved miles on the Mount Vernon Trail and other Alexandria and Arlington trails, with a few minor undulations. There is a shorter, Metro-assisted option also available for those training for the ODH 50K. (Don't forget your Metro card if you choose to bail out on Metro version). **Meet by 8 am** at the north parking lot at Belle Haven Park on the George Washington Pkwy south of Alexandria. Although open to all, this hike is part of a series of Saturday training hikes leading up to the One Day Hike (ODH), 100 or 50 km along the C&O Canal, on May 3 (See the calendar for information about other training hikes and the ODH.)
