People often wonder how to get from the C&O Canal to Reagan Airport (or vice versa):

1. From the trail, head south along the Potomac River
2. At Memorial Bridge, cross the river
3. After getting across the Potomac, you're on the Mount Vernon Trail. Head south to the airport.

Indeed! One of favorite things is right where the Mount Vernon Trail and Reagan Airport meet is Gravelly Point where airplanes, depending on direction, either take off or land right over your head! Very cool how close they are! A really great viewing point to just relax and watch the planes as well as catch lots of cyclists, walkers, rollerbladers, etc. pass by.

We'll be ending our ride there in June; can't wait!
