Fall Foliage Photos
Bask in the glory of November in Washington, D.C., at several scenic locations. For a blend of classical architecture and scenic trees, visit the Tidal Basin, the Washington National Cathedral or the Capitol. For a more immersive outdoor experience, head to Rock Creek Park, the National Arboretum or Theodore Roosevelt Island. If you are still looking for monuments, think about the winding paths through the National Mall or down the Potomac River.
