Washington Monuments Walking and Rolling Tour # 2
Washington DC has wonderful museums plus it’s where some of our favorite people live so we visit often. It’s very accessible with mostly level, well maintained trails and sidewalks - just right for a walking tour. I posted a previous tour here. This time we parked on Ohio Drive SW and walked/rolled to the Jefferson Memorial. There’s a ramp and elevator on the southern side of the monument. A small interpretive area has informative displays about Jefferson’s life and beliefs. The elevator goes to the rotunda level with a huge statue of Jefferson and views of the city.
We backtracked to walk/roll along the west side of the tidal basin which has good views of the memorials on the east side of the basin and access points to memorials on the west side. After passing the Roosevelt Memorial and the Martin Luther King Memorial we stopped to see the Korean War Veteran's Memorial before continuing back along the walkway along Ohio Drive to our parking spot.
DC has recently implemented fee parking along all of the streets where parking was previously free. On most streets the fee is $2.00 an hour payable by credit card or phone app. The spaces are not marked with lines so RVs fees are the same as car fees. The maximum time is 3 hours, the same as it was previously. In the past this was not enforced but now it’s necessary to pay attention to the time which puts a crimp in long walks or museum visits. A benefit of the parking fees is that spaces are easy to find. Spaces that would have filled by 9:30 in the morning are still available at 12:00. 38.881604, -77.043509 DC Map
