Route of the Hiawatha - The Most Expensive Bike Trail in the World

A fun day for everyone. The 15 mile bike ride is one of best in the world. It's either flat or slightly downhill for the entire route. Well maintained and easily doable by anyone that can ride a bike or ride in a bike trailer. Rentals nearby and a shuttle back to the top of the trail make this adventure too easy for any family or individual. Lots of info and history in this area in the links below. Put this one on your bucket list.

It would promote the tunnels is if they were well lighted. With the Coalition for the Capital Crescent Trail (the Capital Crescent Trail was the first Rail-Trail, the term was invented to promote it) we paid for a lighting aesthetics company to design the lighting for the Bethesda Maryland Wisconsin Avenue Tunnel, a "tunnel" created by the AirRights building, its garage and the Apex building and over head bridge of Wisconsin Avenue. Railroad tunnels can be greatly appreciated by well designed artificial lighting. In a remote location without electricity feeds it might be a solar voltaic panel storage battery electric system could provide the electric power. There is no limit on what can be done.
