The National Mall is a  2-mile-long grassy urban park and home to iconic monuments including the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. At the eastern end is the domed U.S. Capitol, and the White House is midway westward to the north. It's also flanked by Smithsonian museums, and its lawns and pathways are often crowded with school groups, joggers, regional visitors, and international tourist.
