There is a moment most mornings when the sun peeks above the trees, and the homes of Waterview Cluster transform from soft pink to bright yellow to neutral white. Although I never considered myself a morning person, this has become my favorite time of day.

No series of local trail tours would be complete without this one. I think this is the most beautiful Northern Virginia trail, and if you hike only one local spot, this is the one to choose. When you live only nine miles from a National Park Service site, you should probably go check it out.…
