The Bethesda Trolley Trail is a dynamic urban greenway that provides the most direct link between Bethesda and Rockville for bicyclists, runners and pedestrians. Its central Montgomery County location makes it an exceptional off-road transportation route providing access to North Bethesda (aka White Flint), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Woodmont Triangle, office towers in downtown Bethesda and the Capital Crescent Trail. Also, its proximity to residential communities such as
Old Georgetown Village, the Grosvenor apartments, Maplewood /Alta Vista, Oakmont, and Glenwood
make it a favorite for meeting neighbors, exercise walking, jogging, and weekend bike rides.

The BTT along the south edge of NIH is narrow and hilly, but recently paved, very beautiful, and well lit at night.
