    Beautiful during peak bloom. Status can be tracked online. Come during weekdays to avoid the rush. Go near tidal basin.

    Peak Week is totally worth the visit. They're even more beautiful in person.

    Parking is next to impossible in the immediate area during peak bloom season. Sunrise and sunset photos are great. For early sunrise photos get there by 5am to find a parking spot!

    Absolutely stunning. It may seem like an incredibly long walk around the Tidal Basin, but it's so worth the loop and it actually goes by quick.

    Even though the weather destroyed most of the cherry blossoms, I was still able to see some.

    Perfect picnic spot for Spring! 🌸 the tidal basin area is very crowded on weekends.

    As a result of global warming pushing spring ever earlier, peak bloom tends to happen in mid-late March.

    $13 parking lots a block away was great!! Access the service road from Maine Ave SW near the SW waterfront.

    The walk is longer than it looks. Comfortable shoes a must!

    Take your time to feel. Try entire basin, hidden paths, mornings, evenings, sunrise, sunset. Her Grace & Stunning Beauty will embrace YOU. She is quiet yet very eloquent. Learn her journey. Be gentle.
