Capital Crescent Trail

It used to be a railroad: the trains were bringing supplies for the workshops in Georgetown.



The workshops are no more. The old buildings were renovated: they are now hosting hotels and restaurants, shops and offices.



So the railroad disappeared. They took off the tracking and asphalted the road: the Capital Crescent Trail, linking Bethesda to Georgetown. Around seven miles. The trail has also a segment from Bethesda to SilverSpring.


It's a lovely trail. Half of it is in a huge park, then it's between the Potomac and the Chesapeake-Ohio Canal.

I will come back with stories and photos. It's a lot to tell about it.
