Rock Creek Parkway: the bridges keep getting bigger! - Washington DC sights to see #dc #drivingtour

Today, I drive you through Rock Creek Parkway. This is a fantastic place to drive through, especially during Spring/Summer/Fall. There's a long running trail that's paved and well well maintained that runs alongside the parkway (and is completely separated from the road, so it's very safe). During summer, this is filled with green and you really forget that you're in the middle of a dense metropolitan area. CHECK OUT THE BRIDGES - they're some of my favorite in the area. Each have their own unique personality and it feels like they just get bigger and bigger. So fun. Let me know what you think below in the comments!

The Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway, informally called the Rock Creek Parkway, is a parkway maintained by the National Park Service as part of Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C. It runs next to the Potomac River and Rock Creek in a generally north–south direction, carrying four lanes of traffic from the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington Memorial Bridge north to a junction with Beach Drive near Connecticut Avenue at Calvert Street, N.W., just south of the National Zoological Park. During rush hours, the parkway is converted to one-way traffic corresponding to the peak direction of travel: southbound in the morning and northbound in the afternoon.

The Parkway was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 4, 2005. Built from 1923 to 1936, it is "one of the best-preserved examples of the earliest stage of motor parkway development".

DC is way more than just monuments. There are tons of neighborhoods each with their own personality and things to appreciate.
