0.0       Begin at Iwo Jima
Go through Rosslyn toward Key Bridge

0.5 Turn LEFT onto Custis Trail toward W&OD (Be careful crossing this intersection.)

4.5 Turn RIGHT at trail spur just before Mile Marker 0.0. The spur will be at the bottom of a hill and immediately before the trail goes under I-66. (If you get to the gazebo at the intersection of W&OD, you have gone too far)

Be careful crossing Wilson Blvd. You will be tired.
This last hill is the worst, I promise.
