Washington Monument

Located in the heart of Mt. Vernon, this was the first monument to George Washington. Take the 228 steps to the top for an amazing view of the city .

One of the most iconic monuments in Baltimore with cobblestone streets that encircle it. The climb to the top is not too hard and the view is kind of lackluster. Entrance to climb is about $5.

Did the climb to the top.The views are not that breath-taking. Ive seen similar views in other buildings. If you're not a firefighter, you thighs will hate you in the morning, lol

The Washington Monument is open. Please visit our website to learn more about hours and visiting and to reserve your time to climb to the top.

One of Baltimor's historical sights. Down the street are many restaurants and cafes . You can have a lovely walk to the inner harbor .

While the monument is under restoration it inspired me to make a thread of the work being done. http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1770742

Climb is fun, but views are so-so. Have to appreciate the history nonetheless!

Best landmark in the city

Notice the slight color difference between the top an bottom? Construction was put on hold during the Civil War.

Would like to see it sometime indeed

227 steps sounds a lot easier from the bottom looking up.

Be sure to come on Dec 1 for the lighting ceremony
