Lovely stretch of walk, very peaceful and scenic. We strolled from the base to the top of the Lincoln Memorial. The monument itself is very imposing. Writing on the walls a little difficult to read in the dark. View from the top of the steps of the memorial down the reflecting pool is very pretty.

This is definitely one of the most beautiful monuments in DC what you shouldn’t miss. The statue size is impressive. Look into the face of the great Abe – the man who contributed to abolition of slavery. Expect a lot of tourists around.

You won't believe the size of this! Nice walk to the Washington monument. A little busy with all the student groups that were there though.

Beautiful building and great for photos. Lots of unattended backpacks lying around which I found slightly alarming so soon after the horrendous bombing in Boston.

Pictures don't do it justice. I recommend visiting at dusk or later. Walking down the path along the reflecting pool is calming except for the joggers and bicyclists who think they always have the right of way.

Out of all the memorials, this is my favorite. Everything about this memorial is so powerful. The reflecting pool (which needs to be cleaned), the stairs leading up where Lincoln sits.

At 10 p.m. it is quiet and serene and truly an experience. Hard to put into words just how moving this memorial can be. Read the words over and over and consider our history.

What can I say that hasn't been said already? Beautiful, moving, amazing-the Lincoln memorial should be seen by every American. It will inspire you to be a better person.

Of all the Memorials, Museums, Buildings, and Cathedrals in Washington DC, The Lincoln Memorial is the one that makes you stop and think. When you read the Gettysburg Address, which is engraved on the wall to the President's right, you realize what an incredible man Abraham Lincoln was.
