Step onto a rugged five-mile loop through Rock Creek Park, following rocky trails once favored by Theodore Roosevelt.
Description
The trailhead links directly into the Jusserand Memorial Loop, tracing the historic route also favored by French Ambassador Jean Jules Jusserand. Hikers navigate narrow, foot-only paths that pass landmarks including Boulder Bridge, Pulpit Rock, and the Jusserand Memorial. The terrain brings significant elevation changes across rugged ground, where exposed tree roots, boulders, and steep grades require caution.
