ADMO Meridian Hill Park Fountains Hike

About this event

This will be a brisk-paced hike with an approximate pace of 2.5-3 mph. This 6.5-7.0 mile loop starts from Pitango Cafe (1841 Columbia Rd NW) in Adams Morgan. We will walk to Meridian Hill Park to view to beautiful cascading fountains that are now working after years of being shutdown. This 13-basin cascading fountain is one of the longest in North America and first started flowing in 1932. From here we will head to Woodley Park and into the Tregaron Conservancy. Next up Cleveland Park, Mount Pleasant via Rock Creek Park on our way back to Adams Morgan.

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.
