World War II Memorial

Highlight • Monument

The World War II Memorial is very large, 7.4-acres to be exact! The memorial is made up of 56 granite pillars, each 17 feet tall. There is an amazing amount of landscaping and water in the fountain here as well.

White House

Highlight • Monument

The White House is definitely a must-see. Unfortunately, the view is now blocked by many barriers.
On the south side you can still see the seat of government quite well from a distance.

Rock Creek Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The trial is hardly to find from 26 St NW/M St NW, impossible by bike, hard for runners. The path is partially blocked by fallen trees and overgrown. But for cross runners it’s really funny and challenging.
