Arrive before 9 AM for easier parking and better views. 🥾 Recommended Route 🚶♀ Billy Goat Trail Section A The entrance is up ahead – it’s the most popular and challenging part of the trail. The path is steep and rocky, requiring some hands-and-feet climbing. ⚠ Not recommended for kids under 10 – it’s quite demanding! 🌿 Want something easier? Try the Olmsted Island Overlook. It’s a flat wooden boardwalk with gorgeous views of waterfalls and rapids – super photogenic! 📸 💡 Useful Tips • Bring enough water and snacks – no stores along the trail • Wear anti-slip shoes! Rocks can be slippery • Fall foliage is especially beautiful 🍁 💬 Final Thoughts 📍 Great Falls (Maryland side) 🚗 Free parking + free attraction + amazing views = a perfect day trip!
