Suggestions for Monument near Washington

jeyo • December 14, 2015This is a quiet space of reflection. You can feel the weight of history here, and even still see its impact with flowers laid about the monument.

Maggie M. • July 4, 2021This is a good short loop for hikers of all skill levels (1.5 miles) and shaded so good even for summer hikes.

Laura M. • August 5, 2012Remember that never in the history of the U.S. Military has a woman been drafted! Thank You, and Welcome Home!

Stephen V. • May 4, 2015Great for hanging out, and a nice shortcut for navigating the maze of streets.

Tammy G. • July 14, 2011My faves: the kitchen garden, West Wing, Sasha & Malia's swingset & the view of the monuments.

Skye M. • March 27, 2011Best in early spring when the trees are in bloom.

Andrew G. • December 1, 2013Perfect spot for a picture of the White House

Josh E. • September 30, 2014The view is much closer from the back (aka the northern side) but access is typically restricted back there during the day. They open it up at night sometimes so take advantage when they do.

Maggie M. • March 19, 2022This is a really nice spot to stop in the center of the island.

Don A. • June 30, 2010Ultimate frisbee every Wednesday - 6PM to dark

Zach K. • July 3, 2013Hoorah! Hoorah! We bring the jubilee. Hoorah! Hoorah! The flag that makes you free. So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea while we were marching through Georgia!

Marc T. • January 9, 2011Grief and History are on top of the monument. Peace is facing the Capitol and Victory faces west on PA avenue. Infant Mars and Neptune are below Victory.
