Greenbelt National Capitol Park:  An economical Capitol tourist bargain! 1,100 acres of dense woods with very tall Poplars, Oak, Hickory and Maples providing an old growth canopy and just 12 miles from Washington, D.C.
The wildlife consists of fox, coon, numerous squirrel (including black squirrel) and deer. There are great woodland trails to enjoy and the Smithsonean Museums are conveniently near.

Shirley and I have enjoyed the park and numerous trips to the Capitol..a must see for all Americans.
