This is an enjoyable hike with beautiful lakes, wooded trails and even a snack/rest room break at a Starbucks. It is about an 8 mile hike with 423 feet of elevation gain around lakes and among the woodlands of Reston. We'll meet at the Walker Nature Center at 9:00 am and hike through the Glade Stream Valley and then along Lake Audubon and Lake Thoreau. The hike route is about 60% on paved paths with the remainder on dirt trails. Restrooms are available at the Walker Nature Center.

We hike at a pace of approximately 2.5 mph while moving. You must be experienced with hikes of this length and elevation gain.

Park on Glade Road so the Nature Center parking lot can be kept open for the Center's pre-school activities and drop-offs.
