DC Hiking Trip ✅

DC Great Falls Park Hiking Experience (Tips & Guide) 🥾🌳 Highly recommend friends near the DMV area to visit Great Falls Park for hiking! The overall environment is beautiful, and the trail design is very well-planned. Great Falls Park stretches across both VA and MD, with trails on both sides that generally don’t connect. Since the MD side is free, we entered from there (VA side charges 10/person or 20/car). 💵 Starting Point: From here, we passed the parking lot and went straight onto the trail. On the route we chose, the main scenic views are concentrated in the upper left section—where you can see the canyon and waterfalls. 🏞️💦 The lower left part is the return route, which includes the famous Billy Goat Trail (with lots of rock climbing sections!). If you prefer to avoid that, you can return via the upper right path. The full loop is about 9km and takes roughly 3–4 hours. Remember to bring plenty of water and snacks! 💧🍎 Have you hiked at Great Falls Park before? Which trail is your favorite?
