The Thomas Jefferson Memorial is a neoclassical structure in Washington, D.C., built in honor of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States and the principal architect of the Declaration of Independence. The memorial is located on the Tidal Basin in West Potomac Park, surrounded by Japanese cherry blossom trees. It is especially enchanting in the spring, with reflections of the memorial in the water and blossoming trees.

Underestimated sight with a beautiful view of the city

Great to see the sunrise or sunset

Belmont Bay is a lovely stretch of water at the mouth of the Occoquan River. The bay is flanked by three nature reserves: Elizabeth Hartwell Mason Neck National Wildlife Refuge, Mason Neck State Park and the Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Keep your eyes peeled for bald eagles and Great Blue Herons. It's also a popular place to go boating.

One of the great thinkers for justice, freedom, and equality. Although as a slave owner, he was rather ambivalent. Today's government should take a look at the speeches recorded in the memorial. Perhaps they'll learn something.

The final (or beginning) mile of the C&O Canal stands here, next to the Tide Lock on the Potomac, the true birthplace of the canal. The spot is marked with a stone pillar. Stretching from Cumberland to Washington, DC, this route ends at Mile Post 0, where hikers and bikers can definitively mark the start or finish of their journey along the historic canal. The towpath follows the canal’s full 184.5 miles to its Cumberland, MD, terminus, often extending to 333 miles for those who begin in Pittsburgh on the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) trail.

Cameron Run is a 3-mile tributary of the Potomac River that is followed by the Eisenhower Avenue Trail for a short stint. There are some decent views of the water and access to Cameron Run Park on the other side of the path.

This point marks the start of the 185-mile C&O Canal Towpath Trail that runs from Washington D.C. to Cumberland, Maryland. Originally built as a way for mules to tow boats along the canal, it is now converted into a multi-use trail for outdoor enthusiasts of all stripes.
