Great Falls National Park


For Memorial Day weekend, Anne and Ack headed out to Great Falls National Park. It has a wonderful series of water falls. We got a later-than-planned start (Anne was working on her book), so we arrived around 10 am with just a short line on the two-lane highway to get into the park.When we left at 2 pm, it was so crowded that the line to get into the park was two miles long -- literally. So if you plan on visiting, go early! The trails are easy and parallel the Potomoc. You'll find an ocassional kayaker defying the rapids or climbers scaling the gorge's walls. The site has an interesting history display about how canals were used in the area too.

We also saw a snake eat a frog!!!
