Geocache Description:


Please read the description carefully. Late-night access is not recommended.

From the cache location, you'll have a breathtaking view of REAL Washingtonians going about their business as busy commuters.

Getting to GZ

This cache is NOT located at street level - it is up on the Metropolitan Branch Trail, a fantastic bike thoroughfare.  Two ways to get here:

  1. Enter the trail from M Street, and on your way grab GC7NWWW!
  2. There are stairs up from 2nd St. (near where it curves around and becomes N St.) I believe there are signs.  

There's some street parking in the area, but depending on the time of day it might be very busy.

Please be careful of muggles, and be aware of bicycles coming down the trail!

About NoMa-Gallaudet U Station


NoMa–Gallaudet U is an at-grade, island platformed station on the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority's (WMATA) Metro system. It serves the Red Line, and is situated between Union Station and Rhode Island Avenue–Brentwood stations. NoMa–Gallaudet U is located near the intersection of New York Avenue and Florida Avenue in Northeast Washington, D.C. The station is within the NoMa neighborhood, which is both residential and commercial, and the station itself is in a commercial district on Florida Avenue. The station opened under the name New York Ave–Florida Ave–Gallaudet U on November 20, 2004, as both the system's first infill station and as the first to be built with a mix of public and private funds.
