An Afternoon on the Capital Crescent Trail
By Nate Feldman
The Capital Crescent Trail is an 11 mile hike and bike trail that connects Silver Spring, Maryland to the Georgetown section of Washington, DC. Although it is relatively small compared to many trails throughout the United States and world, I have always found it one of the nicest areas to spend an afternoon.
Today, I got on around the 5 mile mark at Massachusetts Ave. where there are some conveniently located parking areas. Along with my two daughters, we walked for about a mile through the Dalecarlia Tunnel before turning back. The afternoon was overcast and chilly, and towards the end of the walk a steady rainfall began, but it was great to be out on the trail again.
