Metro to Metro Rock Creek Hike- 20s to 40s

Join us for a scenic Metro to Metro hike through Rock Creek Park! We’ll start at Dupont Circle and make our way north along the Valley Trail, passing streams, bridges, and the historic Peirce Mill before finishing at Van Ness–UDC Metro Station. Expect a peaceful blend of nature and city escape with forested paths, creek crossings, and a few gentle climbs.

For our Metro to Metro Rock Creek Hike, please meet at the South Entrance of Dupont Circle Metro Station. This entrance is located at the southern edge of Dupont Circle, near the intersection of 19th Street NW and Connecticut Avenue NW. The South Entrance provides direct access to Connecticut Avenue NW, which we will follow northward to reach the trailhead into Rock Creek Park. Please plan to arrive a few minutes early so we can begin promptly at 10:00 AM.

Optional Lunch:
After the hike, feel free to join for lunch at a cozy Vietnamese restaurant near Van Ness.
