Fall in Washington DC

Destinations, District of Columbia, North America, Travel, USA

Washington DC is a beautiful city all year round, but I find it looks at its best during the fall season. There are falling leaves everywhere and the colorful trees become the perfect backdrop. Follow me on an autumnal itinerary throughout the USA's capital.

The fall season is great to enjoy nature, be it walking around, jogging or biking. Today, I went on a bike day trip with my girlfriends along the C&O Canal to take advantage of autumn at its very best.
