Parks & Nature
It's a hidden gem in DC that many people outside of those who live here don't ever discover. Great hiking trails, especially on the weekends when some roads are closed to vehicles and there is a real sense of being in the middle of nowhere, right in the middle of the city! Ask us for suggestions on where to go, as it is a lengthy "linear" park that follows Rock Creek from DC up into Maryland.
