A 'Movie- Set Meander' or 'Around the [Forest Glen] World' @Nat'l Pk Seminary

Details

This 3.6mile easy meander/ WALK is paved with some hills & stairs. Pace: 3mph. The trek aws at the architecture of surrounding grounds of the National Park Seminary (NPS). After a gander through a church & graveyard, the walk wanders by the Forest Glen Metro Station then saunters amongst suburbia. Latter of the circuit pitstops at the National Museum of Health and Medicine before traversing the NPS Historical District, which appears out of a movie- set or a self- globe trotting trek, such as a Japanese Pagoda and a Dutch Windmill (imagine domiciling here!). Highlights include "those two bridges" along Georgia Ave. that features carved creatures, columns of queens (aka the "Aloha Maidens"), & a quick railroad crossing. If timing works, we could witness a(n)/ the Amtrak train fly-by!

NOTES:
1. Trail Forecast= MAP | NO Dogs. Walk occasionally traverses residential roads w/o sidewalks. To enter the castle parking lot/ meet spot, approach from Forest Glen or Seminary/ Capitol view roads; avoid Linden Ln.
