Hike Rock Creek
April 13 @ 9:30 am - 12:00 pm
*Sign-up deadline: 3 April
Join a rugged, off-road hike in the heart of the city that explores “wild” Washington. It begins at the bustling commercial heart of D.C.’s Cleveland Park neighborhood, then quickly descends a small stream valley into the heart of Rock Creek Park itself. That’s when both the natural and historic features of this magnificent natural landscape will become evident, including infrastructure that predates the establishment of Rock Creek Park. This 3.5 – mile excursion requires you to wear hiking shoes. Be prepared to walk uphill and down, climb some stairs, and possibly cross a stream by stepping on rocks. The hike route will often be uneven and/or bumpy. Minimum Age is TBD. Walk departs from the Cleveland Park Metro station’s Connecticut Avenue exit on the same side of the street as Target. *Transportation will NOT be included.
Location: 3517 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20008
