May Walks
April showers bring May flowers . . . Walk, watch and listen as the earth comes to life! Join the Elements DC for a few hours of unique, local adventure. We will get outside, active and grounded and send you back ready to tackle the 'to do's'.
In recognition of all the heroes working tirelessly to heal our community, the proceeds from the Elements Spring OUTings will be donated to Feed the Fight and DC Food Project’s Emergency Weekend Food bag

Friday, May 15th
10:00 – 12:30 pm (2 hour)
Meet at Potomac Avenue and Norton Place in Palisades neighborhood
Route: we will drop into the Brookmont woods and then ramble on down to the canal and river where we’ll wiggle along the single track trails to paddlers (and herons, eagles. . . ) paradise - ideally timing our walk to coincide with the sweetness of the bluebells fleeting bloom.
Mileage & Trail Conditions: 4+/- miles. Woodland. Mostly single track & a wee bit of time on neighborhood sidewalks and canal tow path. Some elevation loss at start and gain at end of walk.
In an effort to comply with the CDC’s best practices re the spread of the novel Corona virus, we will:
limit number of walkers
maintain a distance from one another of at least 6’
Elements will no longer be able to provide walking poles, sunblock or bug spray.
BYO: Water, sunblock, bug spray, snack and walking poles (if desired)
