Touring around the National Arboretum

This past weekend we joined the Mountain Club of Maryland for an eight-mile hike in the National Arboretum. Much of the hike, although not all, was on paved surfaces, with modest hills. It did include Mount Hamilton, one of the highest points in DC. (I do feel that calling it mount is a bit of an exaggeration. With 150 feet of prominence, it's not that high!)

Ten miles after work

This hike was notable for two things: One, it was ten miles after work, before dark. Two, I picked up a tick.

Otherwise, it was an unremarkable spin around Black Hill and Churchill Lake.
