D.C. Roads - Rock Creek Park

Rock Creek Park



Beach Dr. SB approaching Wyndale Road in Chevy Chase, MD. Indeed, the road is closed for foot/bicycle traffic at a parking lot at the state line, and I spent the next fifteen minutes criss-crossing Rock Creek Park to finally find the first entrance to the open section at Klingle Road. No, it's not named after Klis.


Structural scenery along Beach Dr. SB south of Klingle. The bridge is Connecticut Ave.


Winter scenery on Rock Creek Parkway, just south of where it begins at Beach Drive and 24th St. NW.


Massachusetts Ave. and Q St. overpasses, Rock Creek Pkwy. SB. The Q Street overpass is my favorite of all; it's reminiscent of a Roman aqueduct. Like on the Merritt Parkway in Connecticut, all of the bridges across Rock Creek Park are different.


I liked the overpass so much, I ended up walking across it on Q St. Okay, I did have a reason to be up there, and I didn't make the connection to this page till later. Notice that the bridge is bowed to the south.
