Whether you are here for a visit or have lived here most of your life, the DC, Maryland and Virginia (DMV) area has so much to offer. Sure, there are iconic monuments, landmark museums and even Pandas. But there is so much more to explore by hiking on foot and paw, from the beautifully scenic to the historically significant. The DMV is rich in both.
WIthin a relatively short drive, you can be in the Shenandoah Mountains, the Allegheny Mountains, on the Eastern Continental Divide, on the Potomac River, on the Chesapeake Bay, on the ocean, on historic battlefields, in National Parks, on rail trails or following routes of the Underground Railroad. The possibilities are enormous.
And let’s face it, if you’ve lived here for a while, like me, you have likely taken a lot of it for granted. That is, if you’ve even known that some of these places existed. We’re all guilty of it. How many of you have found yourself somewhere and thought,”why have I never been here before?”
My canine companions, Alex and Penny, and I want to help you — whether you live here or are visiting — find these places to explore. May our trail tales inspire you to visit these spots (hopefully with your own four-legged pals) and enjoy the scenic and historic treasures that this area has to offer.
