Fall recreation: hiking at Great Falls

the kid who can't contain her happinessA few weeks ago, my friend Lisa and I went for a hike at Great Falls National Park with Eva and Lisa’s dog Caleb.

As someone who grew up with real waterfalls, I’m not sure I would name these falls “great” (as in “large”), but they are pretty. You should also take a look at some pictures the Washington Post put up today of fall colors in the park.

caleb leads the wayLisa and I walked almost the whole park on the Virginia side – a 4.5 mile loop by my calculations, and much farther than I expected considering the 25 pound weight on my back.

Once again, Eva deemed the trip a success.
