The Potomac Tour on foot

Did a run on both sides of the Potomac river in the area round Washington, DC.

I started on the C&O canal, crossed over into Virginia on the Key Bridge, followed the Mount Vernon Trail to National Airport, and then returned on the Washington DC side of the river after crossing over on the 14 Street Bridge. I have found new places to explore in future, including the trails on Roosevelt Island, and the Potomac Heritage trail heading north on the Virginia side of the river from key Bridge. I got a lot of pictures of aircraft, both from Gravelly Point Park at the end of the long runway at National Airport, and also from the middle of the 14th street bridge.

It is always good to find new places to explore that are not too far from where we live!
