ADMO Boulder Bridge Loop

Brisk-paced (2.5-3 mph) --approximate 5.6 mile loop starting from Pitango (1841 Columbia Rd NW) in Adams Morgan. We are going to stick to the pavement on this walk to avoid the sloppy and slippery trails. From Pitango we will walk down Calvert and drop into Rock Creek Park. After passing Pierce Mill we will walk to Boulder Bridge. We will return on Rock Creek Trail and up to Walter Pierce Park on our way back to ADMO. There will be several hills going up and down, one being pretty steep. Bring plenty of water and some snacks. Dress in layers, wear a hat and be sure to wear sturdy, comfortable footwear. Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome. Brunch in ADMO after the hike is an option.

This is a joint hike between the ADMO Hiking Club and the Sierra Club. All hikers will be required to sign the Sierra Club waiver form to participate. Sierra Club Potomac Region Outings (SCPRO) appreciates a voluntary $2 per person donation to support our many volunteer-led activities.
