Tidal Basin Cherry Blossom head start walk on Thursday Evening
Details
The cherry blossoms are just a few days from peak bloom, so let's go take a gander on an unusually beautiful Thursday evening and beat the crowds while we're at it.
We will meet at the Smithsonian Metro Station Entrance at the mall. There will surely be parking along Jefferson Drive SW, but I always advocate taking the metro when you can. We will do quick introductions and start on our route exactly at 6:00. We will do a clockwise loop of the tidal basin, passing Washington, Jefferson, the Pagoda, MLK, WWII, and Washington again as we make our way back to the Smithsonian Metro. Total distance will be 3.5 miles and I suspect we will be wrapped up shortly after sunset at 7:25.
