DC is a great city, with great city sights and activities. Its ever-growing rails to trails program continues to add mileage to the city's biking and hiking trails, while its parks, gardens, and other public spaces are continually expanding or getting renovated to meet the growing demands of the 21st Century. Before delving too deeply into any one activity, we recommend taking a city tour to get a glimpse of the overall picture. After all, no matter how long your stay is, you won't be able to see everything, so do some research, get a plan, and go for it.
