Washington, D.C.

all Park Ambassadors

Appreciate all the park rangers with whom I have interacted over the years - from programs at Kitty Hawk to star gazing in the Rockies to wilderness insights in Virginia, I have never failed to be impressed by your knowledge, care and ability to spark interest in visitors of all ages. Thanks to all for all you do to connect visitors with our precious national parks!

Eisenhower Memorial Ranger

I didn't write down his name, unfortunately, but about 2 weeks ago I happened to stop by the new Eisenhower memorial in DC on my way to the Native American Museum. There was a Park Ranger there and I was going to ask a few questions but before I could, he came to me with a smile and asked if he could answer any questions, etc. He told me about the memorial and we ended up chatting about World War II for almost half an hour. I enjoyed the memorial much more just because he was so friendly and informative. Blessings on him and well done!

Rangers at Washington Monument

Big thanks to the rangers working at the Washington Monument! You were all so friendly and helpful to not only those who had reservations to ride to the top of the monument, but those trickling by with questions about the Mall and making reservations for the monument. You were all very knowledgeable and lovely!

Located across from the Smithsonian National Air and Space museum and nestled among many of the federal agencies that have roots in the Eisenhower administration, this memorial honors Dwight D.

NPS Staff

Thank you for being a shining oasis in the middle of DC! Even as so little of my daily life looks as it did a year ago, I'm grateful that I can continue to enjoy biking/running on the recently resurfaced Beach Drive, especially with the continued closures.

Rangers

Thank you so much to all the rangers who make every park visit feel special! I always check to see if there's a ranger program happening whenever I visit a park, because they're the absolute best way to explore the park.

Following the route that allied Generals Washington and Rochambeau traversed during the American Revolution, this trail stretches across 10 states and over 680 miles of land and water.

Washington's World War I National Memorial honors the service of the U.S. armed forces. The memorial's panels and surrounding greenery create a peaceful experience.
