A Beautiful Drive in Washington DC

One of the most underrated activities in Washington is the short drive on Ohio Drive Southwest starting from East Potomac Park, just before the East Potomac Park Golf Courses, and continuing around Haines Point until exiting East Potomac Park into West Potomac Park. A large swath of Washington can be seen in a very compact drive, with views of architecturally and historically significant sites.

To follow are a few of the many sites to be seen on the drive:

Southwest Waterfront and Marinas

Haines Point Golf Courses

Fort McNair

The War College

Buzzard Point

Boiling Air Force Base

The Wilson Bridge

George Washington Masonic National Memorial

National Airport

The Pentagon

The Air Force Memorial

Arlington House/Robert E Lee National Memorial

The Washington Monument

Give this short drive a try on a beautiful day. I promise you'll love it.
