19 MILES - PAVED The Mount Vernon Trail is located in Virginia, just across the Potomac River. The trail runs along the Potomac between Theodore Roosevelt Island, located by Rossyln, VA, and Mount Vernon. The scenic trail runs along the side of National Airport, and travels through Old Town Alexandria - for about 20 blocks the path shares the street with cars. Two separate paths cut trough Old Town, and they both connect you back on the proper bike path. The path has occasional moderate hills, and the final mile before Mount Vernon has a steep climb. The Rossyln Metro Station is located neat the Theodore Roosevelt end, and the National Airport Metro is located on the path between Rossyln and Old Town.
