DC Urban Walkers

Let’s explore the Basilica of the National Shrine and the Franciscan Monastery. We will walk roughly 5 miles from the Brookland metro through Trinity College, up to the Catholic University campus, and then over to the Monastery. The plan is to stop for 30 or so minutes at each place to check it out and to get out of the heat.

Start Location: Brookland metro station
End Location: Brookland metro station

We try to be punctual with our event times so please be respectful to others and show up a few minutes early, because we will leave without you. Note, we often limit the RSVPs to keep group sizes manageable. If you are on the waitlist but would really like to join, reach out to the organizer.

We're always looking for new leaders who can showcase their neighborhood or any cool places they know, so please reach out either at an event or on meetup if you are interested.

Let's do an good ol' fashion mall walk at night.

Route:
We'll start at Arlington Cemetery metro around 7:45pm to catch a sunset along Memorial Bridge and/or the Lincoln Memorial. If getting to that station seems annoying, you can just meet us at the Lincoln Memorial (~8:10-8:15 pm) if that's easier.

Following that we'll do a typical mall tour featuring a walk around the basin and stopping at monuments along the way.

The "normal" walk will end at the Smithsonian station, at ~4.5 mi. For extra fun there will be a "bonus" walk to complete a more full mall tour, going all the way to Grant and back. This longer walk will be ~6.5 mi.

See maps links below and/or screenshot for full details. Exact route may change.
