Boulder Bridge

Northwest Washington,ย Washington

"peaceful and timeless" even in winter
"the most beautiful spot" on the trail
Beach Dr closes weekends, park on Ridge Rd

A 1902 stone bridge wrapped in peak autumn gold, tucked into the forest of Rock Creek Park. Wander the quiet trails, cross the bridge, and forget the city exists for an hour.
