My wife and I would like to park about 30 miles from the end of the C&O trail in DC. Looking to bike in, stay the night, then bike back. Any suggestions on a place to park overnight?

Thanks

Well, pay at Vienna Metro for overnight.. pedal in W-OD to Custis..
Or did you mean park along the trail somewhere and pedal down and back?

About 30 miles in. Stay the night, see the sights, then 30 miles back the next day.

I'm guessing somewhere like Seneca on the map above. Is there any place to park overnight there?
