Come hang with a National Park Service Ranger and go on a 3 mile hike, get some exercise, see some sites on the George Washington Memorial Parkway, and meet some other folks with similar interests. The hike will take approximately 2 ½ hours, It will start at the US Marine Corps War Memorial (parking or 10 minute walk from the Rosslyn Metro station).
