Washington DC Cherry Blossom Tour
Spring is coming to 2022 and the Tidal Basin in Washington DC becomes a sea of white and pink blossoms. Thousands of people come into Washington DC to see the world famous cherry trees in full bloom, but you’re just in time to reserve a tour of the Tidal Basin and all the memorials. How to see the cherry blossoms in Washington DC? Your first question you might ask yourself is should I walk or should I take a chance on a Washington DC cherry blossom tour?
Can I walk around the Tidal Basin?
Of course. The Tidal Basin is lovely when the cherry trees are in full bloom. But the problem is that everyone knows this, and everyone has already gobbled up every available parking spot for miles around. The nearest metro station is quite a distance away, and you will need to walk for several miles threading your way through crowds of people in order to enjoy the cherry trees in all their glory.

Well, this option obviously costs some money, but it makes all the logistics just ever so easy.

When will the Cherry Blossoms be in full bloom in Washington DC?
This changes every year depending on how cold and wet the winter has been. The blossoms come into full bloom anytime between March 20 and April 10 each year, with the average being about April 4. The trees will be partially in bloom for a week beforehand, and then will stay in full bloom for about a week. A final week will have still have plenty of blossoms on the trees. And, if you come too late, the National Park Service has plenty several stands of late-blooming Kwanzaan cherry trees just off the Tidal Basin, so you will still get a chance to see some trees in bloom even two or even three weeks after the main bloom. Full bloom is notoriously hard to predict more than a week or two out. The National Park Service Bloom Watch gives their predictions each year. They are usually wrong, so take any predictions with a grain of salt. The National Cherry Blossom Festival Bloom Watch is another good source if you want to choose the wrong date to arrive for full bloom.
