One of a few busy intersections to cross. All are 'biker friendly'. No worries, just need to be patient.

Monument in Arlington
Didn't get close enough.
Charles River, Arlington
It was such a hot day and this was very tempting.

Another bridge.
Arlington's Great Meadow
Conservation area.

Concrete and Pavement
Mix of urban and suburban on this trail.

Busy but a nice place to stop.
