The scavenger hunt incorporates the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, the Smithsonian, the National Gallery of Art, the National Archives, the Holocaust Museum, the Botanic Gardens and the White House, just to name a few.

This map shows the boundaries of the Washington DC. Note that the hunt area is a rectangle. Unfortunately, metro stations cannot be found at each end, which would be handy! You might like to arrange for your participants to have transportation to and from each end of the hunt area so that they don’t have to backtrack. This is the best way to do it!
