Tenleytown, Kreeger Art Museum, and Glover Archibald Trail

Let's meet at Tenleytown and take a loop walk down Foxhall Road and back up the Glover Archibald Trail. Our route will include the Kreeger Museum, whose collection features works mainly from the 1850s to the present. The Impressionists are represented by nine Monet paintings, as well as works by Pissarro, Renoir, and Sisley. Picasso's career can be traced through eight of his paintings on display. Other 20th century European artists include Edvard Munch, Max Beckmann, Jean Dubuffet, Wassily Kandinsky, and Joan Miro. American artists include, among others, Alexander Calder, Clyfford Still, Frank Stella and James Rosenquist. The permanent collection also includes outstanding examples of traditional art from west and central Africa and Asia.

Stopping at the museum is optional. The entrance fee is $15 for adults and $10 for seniors. I will likely continue the hike and visit the museum another time.

The starting point for the hike is a hop and a skip from a Whole Foods store with the best peanut butter cookies in the D.C. area.

** Thanks to John for laying out this route & for the core of this write-up.

• From the meetup point we'll walk southeast along Wisconsin Ave NW, turn left at Nebraska Ave NW and follow it southwest to Foxhall Rd NW,
• On our return trip we'll follow the Glover-Archbold Trail through the woods back to Tenleytown, 2.6 miles total. We may add a little more turf to round out the mileage.
• Total distance is just short of 5 miles and should take about 2 hours, . The surface is paved and slightly downhill on the way out, and a slightly uphill mix of pavement and woodland trails on the way back. This is a fairly easy walk.
