Route: Arlington Loop (VA)

The Arlington Loop is composed of four local trails—the Mount Vernon Trail, Custis Trail, Washington & Old Dominion (W&OD) Trail, and Four Mile Run Trail. If completed all at once, it’s a paved 16-mile circuit that is separated from vehicle traffic, except for a few street crossings. But it is also easy to walk, bike, or run portions of the Loop to and from destinations throughout Arlington. The Arlington Loop has access points to many of Arlington’s neighborhoods, such as Bluemont, Rosslyn, Crystal City, Shirlington, and Columbia Pike.

It has epic views of Washington, DC and Reagan National Airport and tons of history.
