If you turn south off Sheridan Circle onto 23rd Street, you will cross the Buffalo Bridge (also called Dumbarton Bridge) with its brooding bison and masonry heads of Sioux chief Kicking Bear.

This is one of many beautiful bridges suspended over the Rock Creek riverbed, offering hypnotic views of swaying treetops and serpentine waters. The calls of Rock Creek Park's songbirds and the coils of its ivy tendrils all the way up to the bridge's rails provide a perfect counterpoint to the city.
