Off- Trail Hike (series): the CAVE & 'Ole' Asphalt' [double-header] (Rockville)

This 3.8mi hard hike is mostly paved, but has STEEP inclines. Pace: 2.5mph. The trek first spurs off- trail, visiting a recessed overhang in the landscape currently interpreted as a CAVE. After traversing an optional log bridge the circuit steps up stony stairs, eventually connecting with the RCT. Latter of the hike snakes through suburbia before ascending 'ole asphalt', a hidden yet halcyon path. Highlights include an Osage tree- lined ascent, a bountiful boardwalk, & a mysterious meadow. An epic Expedition!
