Mile 1: I pass over Rock Creek on a rebuilt railroad trestle.

Mile 3: The most aesthetically unappealing part of the trip, riding under the Air Rights Building. Its like riding through an underground parking garage without the cars. The only bright spot is the ongoing battle between grafitti "artists" and building management.

Mile 4: The only long straightaway. This section is about a 1/2 mile long and ends in the only "hill" on the trip -- an overpass over a busy street.

Mile 2: Sorry, I posted this pic out of order. My backyard form the trail ... actually it is a golf course the trail crosses.

Mile 6: The more appealing Dalecarlia tunnel built in 1910.

Mile 8: The partially drained C & O Canal from the Arizona Ave. Bridge.

Mile 11: The end of the MUP. The remnants of the Washington Aqueduct Bridge in the foreground and the Francis Scott Key Bridge in the back. My trusty steed parked next to one of the lovely trail signs posted to help tourists.
