Ken's DC Walking Guide
A National Jaunt: Footster's Guide to Washington, D.C.
Visiting Washington, D.C.?
If you’re looking for ideas on what to see and where to go, maybe my award-winning walking guide, A National Jaunt, can help. The book describes dozens of major sites and over 90 miles of the best walks and hikes in the greater D.C. metro area. The full-color guidebook is richly illustrated with maps and hundreds of photos, and has earned many positive reviews.
Included are the memorials and monuments of the National Mall, grounds of the U.S. Capitol, Library of Congress and Supreme Court, Smithsonian Museums, historic areas of Capitol Hill, Georgetown, Old Town Alexandria, the Potomac River and much more.
These are the same areas where I’ve enjoyed offering walking tours since 2018. Watch for details on upcoming trips, or reach out if you’re interested in a D.C. tour. The guidebook is only available direct from me, the author. To purchase a copy, visit tireddogspress.com/books/#jaunt. Fast, free shipping to the U.S. and Canada.
Also, if you subscribe to my Somewhere in the Weeds newsletter at the annual rate ($50/year), I’ll send you a free signed copy! I’ll be in touch once you subscribe. Subscribers also receive tour discounts, tips on travel, getting around D.C., avoiding crowds, unique events, as well as insights on how and when to visit the museums, iconic buildings, memorials, monuments and the rest!

A National Jaunt is also available in bulk quantities (by the case) with deep discounts to 75 percent while supplies last. Thanks to the pandemic and its impact on travel, we still have some extra inventory to liquidate. For more info on bulk orders (or tours), you can contact me here.
Washington, D.C. is an amazing place to visit. If you haven’t been, it definitely belongs on your bucket list!
