Pretty cool. Birds nest and flock on the west side exit of the tunnel and the plaques illustrate the neat historical nature of the tunnel. It looks dark and ominous from the outside but once you enter your focus shifts and you can see everything in either direction. I walk through this tunnel about once a week and I love it every time.

Wilkes Street Tunnel is commonly used as a bike/running path in Alexandria, but many may not know the history about it. Its a tunnel used as part of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad that was incorporated in 1848. It was used to transport items to and from the nearby port in Old Town. Now its part of a biking path and the site for many photo shoots.
