Trail Length (Approx)
Eagle- 7ish miles
Turkey- 5ish miles
Penguin 3ish miles

Shiggy Rating (we’re sad that we don’t have shiggy but that means there is no excuse to not come in costume!)
Eagle- ? (maybe between Woodley Park and Ditcher’s stop)
Turkey- 0
Penguin- 0

Dog Friendly/Stroller Friendly
Not the best idea downtown but doable and don’t bring a stroller on eagle.

Notes
BRING YOUR METRO CARD – YOU WILL NEED IT!  Put $5 on it and you should have enough to do trail and metro back to the start after brunch.  This is 2Good’s last hare before she heads back to Korea where she and Cherry routinely took the metro on trail (back then it was about 50 cents to get anywhere in the city) so we’re giving you a taste of our experiences.  Just pay attention to the “dead hares” or chalk marks to make sure you take the right trains or you’ll be LLMF.
