Rock Crk and Potomac Pkwy Northwest, Georgetown

Rock Creek Parkway is an amazingly peaceful, nature-filled, 4-lane parkway in Northwest DC. You will drive along the rushing Rock Creek and pass beautiful landscapes that make it seem as if you are driving along mountainsides. The cliffs are gargantuan as they separate the city from this beautiful street. Be careful though because the road is extremely windy and not particularly wide. If you can help it, drive a smaller vehicle along Rock Creek Parkway. Access various parks that seem secluded from the rest of DC, but don't try to walk or park on this street. You might get hit.

Rock Creek Parkway is a great winding street that connects the city of Washington D.C. with the suburbs. The parkway follows the creek through wooded park like settings in an easy drive. With the exception of heavy traffic periods during rush hour, this is a peaceful drive. It is one of my favorite ways to get from Northern Virginia to the National Zoo and the Washington National Cathedral. Neither of these is located on the Rock Creek Parkway, but they are not far from it. This drive is usually far less congested and does not involve the many traffic circles offered by the other main streets going the same way.
