Description
Due to icy/snow-covered trails and the forecast for more snow overnight, this hike has been cancelled for January 11, 2025.
If the National Mall is America’s Front Yard, then Rock Creek Park is America’s Back Yard. From before the park was founded, presidents have spent time on Rock Creek Park land. Come join a ranger for a 2 ¾ mile hike and learn the ways that presidential history flows through Rock Creek.
Walk may be cancelled in the event of bad weather at the discretion of park staff. Feel free to call the Nature Center (202-895-6070) the day of to confirm.
