The 10 Best Outdoor Activities in Alexandria, Virginia (VA)
A short Metro ride from Washington DC, Alexandria, Virginia is the perfect escape from the fast-paced capital. First settled in 1695, the city retains its colonial spirit, with cobblestone streets and historic buildings in the Old Town, Gadsby's Tavern, a restaurant serving food since 1770, and centers of learning like the Black History Museum. For a more contemporary side of Alexandria, wander the streets of the stylish Del Ray neighborhood, where local artists operate boutiques and studios.

Located just minutes from Mt. Vernon by the river, what impressed me is a long trail sandwiched between the Potomac and GW parkway. I would say its lot more refreshing to gaze at the river and small waves than a regular trail amid just trees would offer. Parking is easy and free, but it will fill up quickly on warm days. There are benches to sit and enjoy the scenery after a long walk. Highly recommended.
