My friend, Judy K and her herd, reminded me of what a nice, reliable, beautiful hike Great Falls is. The park is well visited and can be busy, especially on a summer afternoon, but this time of year or in the mornings it is peaceful and scenic.
If you have never been, you are missing some amazing views of the Potomac River. The Falls live up to their reputation but be careful with your pooch near the edges! No kidding, people die every year there thinking they can tame the rapids and falls. Not!
Great Falls connects to Riverbend which I have talked about previously. Riverbend is fantastic in it’s own way and is much less busy. Just bring a map because you will have many less-traveled options for your hike.
