Check Availability & Book

Follow Washington Walks into the woods of western Washington, D.C. on an 11-mile guided hike through forested National Parklands, popping in and out of neighborhoods you know—but via routes you do not.

Bring your own water and snacks/food. Participants will stop midpoint to use the restroom, relax a bit, and enjoy lunch together.

Beautiful Scenery, Rugged Terrain

This day-long immersion in D.C. nature includes rugged terrain. Wear hiking shoes and be prepared to walk uphill and down, climb some stairs, and possibly cross a stream on rocks. The route will often be uneven and/or bumpy.

NOTE: The hike will start and conclude at Parking Lot 1 located across from Peirce Mill (2401 Tilden Street, NW)

Reviewers of this Washington Walk said:

“What a wonderful adventure! I would gladly do this walk again anytime . . . . Brian Kraft, our guide, was fantastic. He struck the perfect balance between providing clear directions, interesting information, and allowing moments of silence to fully appreciate the green, the sun, even the mud in the parks . . . . Even if you’re not an avid hiker, I highly recommend it. Don’t be discouraged by the long distance; it’s entirely doable and offers a wonderful experience. As a first timer with Washington Walks, I’m now looking forward to join them in future tours.” – Ana Maria on Google Reviews
