Parks & Nature
Rock Creek Park has some nice walking trails. It's a small forest within a city. Head down to Beach Drive and Tilden St. N.W. (take taxi) to visit and maybe picnic at Peirce Mill. Continue onto the path near Peirce Mill called the Western Ridge Trail, and venture into a leisure hike into the forest.
