Let’s go for a hike in beautiful Rock Creek Park. We’ll meet at the Nature Center and Planetarium at 5200 Glover Road NW, Washington, DC. Photo of the Nature Center above. We’ll meet at 1:30 p.m. and hit the trails soon after. After a short side trail, we’ll hike the Western Ridge Trail south to beyond Peirce Mill, above the creek and beyond, then hike the horse trail and a hillside trail back to the Nature Center. The pace will be about 3 miles per hour. The hike will be close to 6.5 miles and will last 2.5 hours, maybe longer. There will be a few slightly hilly climbs. Hiking boots are recommended. Bring water and snacks. In case of rain the day of the hike or the day before, the hike will be rescheduled.
There is plenty of free parking at the Nature Center. If the parking lot is full, there is a parking lot at the Maintenance Yard, a little farther down Glover Road. It's about a 5-minute walk from the Maintenance Yard to the Nature Center.
Attendance will be limited to 16. Restrooms are available at the Nature Center for before and after the hike. We will pass another restroom during the hike.
