5 miles that are suitable for all levels of hikers.

Rock Creek Park offers a surprisingly wild escape in the heart of Washington, D.C., with miles of wooded trails that wind along the creek, climb gentle ridges, and pass historic sites.

 We'll hike a variety of trails from easy riverside strolls to more rugged, root‑laced paths that feel far removed from the city. Shaded by towering white oaks and tulip poplars, the trails provide peaceful views, abundant wildlife, and a refreshing sense of solitude—making the park one of the region’s most beloved urban hiking destinations.

Along the way, keep your eyes peeled for white-tailed deer or the bright flash of a Northern Cardinal. The trail is well-marked, though it can get quite muddy after a good rain. Because of the rolling hills and natural dirt paths, wearing sturdy sneakers or hiking boots is a great idea to keep you steady.

As with all WWO hikes, there will be a leader and a sweep, and no one will be left behind.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to explore the hidden world beneath the earth? Join us for a beginner caving adventure and experience the excitement of underground exploration!

Explore the Underground

Beginner Caving is a great introduction for first-time cavers and anyone curious about exploring caves. This trip focuses on largely horizontal movement, including walking, stooping, and crawling through natural cave passages. No prior caving experience is required—just a willingness to get a little muddy and try something new!

Before entering the cave, our trip leaders will go over the basics of caving safety and techniques so you feel comfortable underground. During the trip, you’ll learn how cavers navigate through caves, how to move safely through passages, and some of the fascinating basics of limestone geology and cave formation.

Once inside, you’ll explore a beginner-friendly cave environment and see firsthand the unique features that make caves so incredible. It’s a great opportunity to challenge yourself, learn something new, and experience a side of nature that most people never see.

All you need to bring is clothing you don’t mind getting dirty, sturdy closed-toe shoes or boots with good traction, water, and a sense of adventure. Helmets and other required safety gear will be provided.

After you complete your registration, you will receive a confirmation email with additional event details and the meeting location. Please note that participants should be comfortable with moderate physical activity and small spaces.

38 miles, elevation 844 feet, mostly on flat, rural roads. For intermediate and advanced riders. 

Ride with us in Southern Maryland (Charles County) to historic Cobb Island. This small, less than one square mile island lies at the confluence of the Wicomico and Potomac Rivers and was owned in 1642 by privateer James Neal (a "legal" pirate) working for the British Empire. He captured Spanish ships bringing homes goods from Central America. The Spanish coins that were stolen were cut up into smaller pieces called cobbs and distributed to the colonists. (Hence the name Cobb Island.) While we're unlikely to encounter privateers on this ride, we'll have scenic views of farmland and rivers as we ride on mostly rural backroads. There are a few miles on main roads but these have wide shoulders. The route is mostly flat with a "spicy" hill at the beginning (and end) of the ride that will get you warmed up quickly. We're excited to be offer this ride for the first time!

This is a no- drop ride, with a leader and a sweep and no one will be left behind.
