Hike: Glover – Archbold and Palisades Parks, DC

(Trailhead hike) You can be assured of a good hike, and a convenient, in-town opportunity to enjoy nature before the frenzy of Christmas day. From Tenleytown Metro, we’ll head south through deeply wooded Glover-Archbold and Palisades Parks up to the C&O Canal Towpath. The moderate hike continues along the towpath towards town and ends at the Rosslyn Metro station. Long hikers backtrack to the Whitehaven Parkway (a woodsy trail, not a highway) and continue along that trail to end at Woodley Park Metro. Est.: 9.5 miles, 1000' and 7.5 miles, 500'. Hike fee: $5.

Meeting place: Tenleytown Metro,
4501 Wisconsin Ave. NW, Washington DC
Meeting time: 9:00 AM
