Wahington Monument

The Washington Monument is the tallest structure in the district at 555 feet tall. An elevator takes you up to 500 feet. If you visit DC in the summer months you need to plan months ahead to reserve tickets to go up to the top. In mid-November I walked right up to the ticket booth and had a ticket for the next ascent.


Notice the flags at half mass. This was Veteran's Day.




View east from the Lincoln Memorial.




View from Arlington Memorial Bridge across the Potomac.
