A short walk through the memorials on the Mall

Where better to start than the monuments near the National Mall?  Starting from the Smithsonian metro stop, this is an easy walk down to the Lincoln Memorial and back.  You'll be able to view the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the World War II Memorial and the White House.  Quick side trips to the Korean War Veterans Memorial (just south of the route) or the Albert Einstein Memorial (just north of the route) may increase the length of the walk.

This walk is on paved paths, with several street crossings.  It is fairly flat, with slight rolling hills in some areas.

This area has heavy foot and bicycle traffic, especially during the spring Cherry Blossom Festival.

Distance:  2.8 miles
Accessibility:  Wheelchair and stroller accessible.
Kids:  Great walk for children.
