I was visiting the African American Heritage Park when I noticed an Arlington-like cemetery beyond the trees... I made my way over there and was blessed by what I saw. Alexandria National Cemetery... I'd never heard of it. Beautifully landscaped solemn grounds memorializing those who sacrificed for this country.

Great experience for this first time Hiker!!! They have a number of trails, some more intense than others. Our guide took us on a combination of trails totaling approximately 4 miles. It was beautiful. Some climbs are strenuous but it is worth it. We saw deer and many plants and different types of mushrooms (we went after a week of rain). Awesome hike! Can't wait to go again.
