The Other Green Line: The Fort Circle Trail

With spring in full bloom and rain as a distant April memory, eleven Hillcrest residents bonded during a scenic three hour hike through the Fort Circle Trail. Our fearless leader, Fort Dupont National Park Ranger Tommy Safranak, basked in the glory of his hard work. He guided us through the green trees of the newly renovated trail which was once a protective front during The American Civil War (1861-1865).

 Local East of the River photographer Raymond Keith shared a few photos
 of Southeast DC’s natural treasure.
