A circular walk through DC’s green spaces – on, along or close to its distinct border
Walking the 40 mile Capitol Ring is a great way to get to know the real DC. The route comprises 6, mostly flat or gently sloping sections in beautiful open spaces, Dupont Park and Rock Creek, past historic buildings and spaces, Fletcher’s Cove and Fort Lincoln, or through distinct neighborhoods, Tacoma and St Elizabeth’s, – all within easy reach of a metro station, bus stop or a few miles of the Capitol. DC is a diverse city and only those that have walked through it’s neighborhoods and spoken to those that meet you on the way, truly understand why.
Safety – always be aware. Walk with friends, remain alert.
In in doubt – walk away and leave it out. It will still be there tomorrow.
