As part of our Smithsonian Associates, Art of Living series, today’s show is part of our series on hiking, being outdoors, and being the best you can be…

We’re joined today by author Rachel Cooper, who, aloing with co-aurthor Renee Sklarew, has written the excellent new book, the 3rd edition of 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: Washington, D.C.

Rachel Cooper is the co-author of the excellent new book, 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles of Washington DC including suburbs. 3rd edition.

We’re going to kick this off with a new series of local hikes by celebrating the centennial of Anacostia Park and the rich history of the riverfront community in Southeast Washington that borders it. Land along the 8.7-mile Anacostia River was preserved for a park by an act of Congress in August 1918, and today is a vibrant urban retreat that extends from Maryland’s Prince George’s County to Washington, D.C., and is filled with diverse natural features. This tour, October 8, is sold out, but if you want to be on the waiting list, please check out our web site for more information.
