Unlike white jeans after Labor Day, the great outdoors isn’t likely to go out of style anytime soon.

In fact, even as the last days of summer hang in the balance, the year’s most dreamy weather is yet to come. Your job? To make sure you’re ready to make the most of it—today and tomorrow.

Read on to immerse yourself in the city’s outdoor scene like never before.

Best For Getting Your Sweat On

Not ready to reactivate that gym membership just yet? No problem.

As it turns out, DC earns its reputation as one of America’s fittest cities by doing (some) of the hard work for you and offering up a slew of spots that bring the gym outdoors.

#1 The Exorcist Steps: For a cardio workout so good it may scare you, head over to these famously steep Georgetown steps, a DC landmark, and fitness destination all in one step.

#2 The Mount Vernon Trail: Take in quintessential city views while running or biking your way to George Washington’s historic Mount Vernon Estate.

#3 The Key Bridge Boathouse: No matter your fitness level, canoeing or kayaking is a great way to make room for entertainment and exercise—all from the same boat.

Best For Pets

We know just how important your pets are to you. That’s why we think they should have a park to call their own, a place to frolic, run, and with any luck, to meet some furry friends along the way.
