Gene Corapi’s Washington Strolls maps 14 walking routes through D.C.

Gene Corapi has released a new walking guide to Washington, D.C. that covers more than 335 points of interest across 14 routes designed to start and end at Metrorail stations. The book aims to give visitors and locals a more accessible, detail-rich way to explore the capital on foot.

Why it matters: - "Washington Strolls" tries to make Washington, D.C. easier to explore on foot for a wider range of walkers. - The guide centers accessibility, with routes that are mostly flat or downhill and begin and end at Metrorail stations. - The book also packs in more than 335 points of interest, which positions it as a broad city guide rather than a niche neighborhood walkbook.
