2017-09-24 - Great Falls with Courtney Jenkins

 

~6.0 miles @ ~23.4 min/mi

"We'll come back on the Bootlegger Trail - I just love that name!" Courtney declares. The route she maps out goes upstream from Great Falls National Park along the teal-blazed Potomac Heritage Trail and returns farther inland via a path with red markings. Photo opportunities abound. Brightly colored kayaks bob in the rapids of Mather Gorge. At Riverbend Park we pause at the visitor center. A friendly dog greets us; a giant spiderweb spans the gap between tree limbs. It's a lovely morning for a hike in the woods!
