Matt DavisNovember 7, 2013I remember when you could drive down this road. Too many security folks nowadays. And there really isn't anything to see. Very dull (besides view of White House) and very trashy unclean walkway.- Lin RomanoMarch 29, 2013"Camping" discouraged, but some dedicated people have been holding a round-the-clock vigil for peace for more than thirty years. Hope DOES spring eternal!
- Cheyenne GlennMay 23, 2012Walk to the back of the monument for a more peaceful experience and killer view!
Genna DMarch 30, 2013Apparently 1/5 people standing around here are secret service! Watch out... But enjoy the view!
