Woodley Park/Embassy Row Stroll on Juneteenth Eve

Come celebrate Spring Fever and the Eve of Juneteenth/Pride Weekend/Summer Solstice by joining us on a scenic and historic 4 mile, moderate stroll through one of Woodley Park's most scenic neighborhoods and adjacent Embassy Row.

Our sojourn starts at the top of the escalators of the Woodley Park-Zoo-Adams Morgan Metro Station at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday evening June 18.

The first half of our walk takes us up a steep hill with substantial elevation along Calvert Street and Woodland Drive. We will admire the lavish homes and gardens and learn about a harrowing murder. Once at the top of the hill, we will careen down to Whole Foods for a bathroom break.

After our brief respite we will pass the Naval Observatory and turn onto Massachusetts Avenue and Embassy Row. At S street, we will turn left and pass the home of former president Woodrow Wilson and the former site of the Textile Museum, now used by Jeff Bezos as a party house. At Decatur Place we will descend DC's renowned and picturesque Spanish Steps and potentially pause for a group photo. ( Please note that the Steps do not have a handrail.) Following the Steps we will make our way to Dupont Circle, where we will conclude the formal portion of our stroll and if desired choose among any number of establishments for refreshments.

All are welcome. Please bring beverages, snacks, comfortable walking shoes and the $5 Adventuring trip fee.
