We'll hike roughly 6 miles on the 18-mile Mt. Vernon trail in Alexandria, VA along the Potomac River. The hike will consist of nearly 5 miles on the paved Mt. Vernon trail and roughly 1.5 miles on the unpaved dirt/mud trail through Dyke Marsh for birds, blooms, beasts, and views. We’ll also see a DC Boundary Stone at Jones Point Lighthouse — one of America’s last rivertine lighthouses. We’ll hike at a moderate pace — about 2.5 - 3 miles

per hour — with several stops, especially at the lighthouse and through Dyke Marsh.

We will meet in the parking lot at Mt. Vernon Trail Parking lot near Dyke Marsh.
